new messenger

I downloaded the new version of MSN Messenger... aside from a slight polishing of the look to suit osX a little better (but really, only a little), i don't really see what's so great about it to make it "version 4.0" instead of "3.6"

They skip versions to make it look important! The most important new features are probably spyware cramming that will put more spam in your Hotmail and all your friends'. :)

Hey! It has new e-moticons (sp?)!

Seriously, I could not tell the difference except for a slightly different icon. I was waiting for video/audio support ... well, back to Adium.

seriously, what's the point of putting it up as 4.0 if it's not even gonna try to compete with iChat?

plus, OLD versions of MSN (at least Japanese versions) were fully audo chat enabled... Just once i'd like to see bill gates do something that's productive instead of profitable. is one time too much to ask?

thanks for pointing out the new emoticons though Alex... though I must ask, what in fucks name do i need a sheep for?
