Why does there have to be two versions of Messenger (Windows and MSN)? It
just confuses everyone. Why don't they just merge the two together and
have
all the features each contain in one program. I have just installed SP2
and
lost the features in Windows Messenger. I have lost the Hotmail feature,
and
also the ability to send text messages, which I used everyday. I would
install MSN Messenger, but is it integrated with Outlook Express? NO!Does
Windows Messenger support Hotmail and mobile devices? NO! Thanks a lot
Microsoft. What am I supposed to do? Install MSN Messenger and just sign
in/out between the two for the features I want? I think not! Why can't it
just be like the past when ONLY MSN Messenger existed and everyone was
happy?


We already don't use IE (Firefox browser has no activeX
issues because it doesn't use/allow activeX).


Who is "WE"?

Please don't try to speak for me!
