Looks impressive.... :)

I have no idea why it says to only use Windows, it's a webpage, it runs in Mozilla - enough said. ;)

Re: MSN "webmessenger"
 

I will stick to MSN Messenger like matey said above how long before spam bots and morons get in to ruin it.


I'm sure most people could get msn to install if not most computers come with Windows Messenger anyways don't they :dozey:

Then again there is plenty of webpages on how to install MSN Messenger even on limited accounts on Windows XP.

useful for things like at my uni computer cluster though, where even the normal tricks dont work to install msn etc ;)

Re: MSN "webmessenger"
 

Mind you, Windows Messenger is only available on Windows XP boxes. Not everybody is on Windows XP. Also sometimes it is disabled by administrators for various reasons, and so you cannot launch it (ie. you click click the icon, it does sod all).

It works in Firefox 0.9.x as well.
