I converted my MSN to Skype and I thought they would have added some features from MSN.......they didn't. It's a pain to deal with, and I'd like to convert back to MSN. Any way possible? I'm tempted to call Microsoft and see what they say, but let's start here.
It might have been nice to have WLM if I still used Windows. WLM is a breeze to use especially with group chats since it works flawlessly. On the bright side, I don't have to see custom fisting emoticons anymore! That scarred me for a while.
But yeah, third-party instant messengers is the way to go if you really dislike Skype. I've gotten used to Skype and FaceTime lately.
