Hi,
If you like Windows Messenger and it works for you, by all means continue using it. However,
the product team no longer exists and hasn't for a long time so there will not be fixes or
changes to the product as it is now.
In fact, anything below Windows Messenger 4.7.2005 (which includes many 4.0, 4.5, 4.6 builds,
and the initial 4.7 versions) can't even sign into the service. I honestly would be really
surprised if in 5 years from now you can still use Windows Messenger to sign in.
My goal has always been to just make things work for people, not to "push" them into
advertising or similar. I don't make any money from it, so it doesn't make much difference
to me ;)

I'm sorry but I gotta jump on you for this one...
MSN Message and Windows Live Messenger drive adware...Windows Messenger
does not. That is why people don't want to change.
Is this going down the road of "Windows Message is obsolete and
unsupported" in order to force people to upgrade the the Live messager
with advertising?
