Its what all my mates use, and once you hack the crap out of it, it runs fine

Don't forget, Microsoft lose money if you use aMSN because they can no longer advertise to you ;)
VaKo
MSN has adverts?
moonlit
yeah, bottom of the main window, they're text adverts now though I think, right down the bottom...

I think they still use banner ads too somewhere but there's hacks to get rid of those
VaKo
I wondered what all those large blank spots of gui were for.
Rab
lol use mess patch for the win
neochivers
haha .. one of em hacks, "MSN+", a few friends of mine use, has tonnes of spyware, so be careful
Cooper
Now that's the ultimate hypocrisy: Provide an ad-removing hack using a program that installes spyware on your box.
wetelectric
haha, crazy. spy-ware supported ad remover.niiice.

Windows users should try outpost firewall. It has a built in plugin that blocks the fuck outta ad servers. There's a free version and a paid version.
neochivers
yeah i know its pointless....
uber_tom
so.... does this beta have any new/interesting fetures?

This statement is incorrect. At the installation stage the program gives you an option of:

Help Support MSN+ - Ad Supported
and
Do not support MSN+ - No Ads

Something like that anyway, point is it gives you the option of installing the adware or not.
neochivers
aparently even if you selcet no adds, it still puts in spyware .. you may not see adds but spyware is there
