Microsoft MSN Messenger Service Reviews

Msn Messenger: this is probably my favourite thing on the internet. It enables you to chat with people that you know as well as being able to chat with people that you met on chat rooms after you leave the chat.

A great little program to keep in touch with your internet buddies. I use it most to talk to my brothers at university, and chat to friends from school. The great thing about it is that it can run along side your internet browser, so you can carry on surfing as you chat.

Because you only add contacts ...  Read the complete review

I've been using ICQ for quite a while now, and although I have MSN Instant Messenger installed as well I'd never sacrifice ICQ for it. It has scarcely any of the features that ICQ has to offer. Unlike ICQ you cannot messgae a person that is offline, you must instead send them an E-mail. I find that the majority of people ...  Read the complete review

MSN Instant Messenger is your typical chat client, without all the over-loaded features of ICQ. I've been using it for some time now, originially "forced" to get it by a friend who wouldn't get ICQ :) Despite first impressions, it's now a small, quick and discreet tool for chatting, with just enough features ...  Read the complete review
