Well, this is a very nice app... Misses some GUI candy, yes, but it works nicely...
Minus a star for not understanding latin characters like à or ê, and so on...
BTW, it consumes quite less CPU and memory, when idle, than the official MSN Messenger, wich make this app a must-have if you keep your MSN open for long periods of time, have little system resoures and/or want to do something else while you're on MSN...
It seems to miss some features of the official version, like files and mail reports but it works well if you only want to chat...
