Re: MSN Premium

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I used MSN Premium on an MCE 2005 machine for a year (complimentary subscription) with no issues. The only lack is that Media Center will not use MSN Messenger (now Windows Live Messenger) for its instant messaging functions. It is hard coded to work with the original Windows Messenger.

I currently have media centre but have heard you cannot use MSN premium with
vista if you upgrade? Is this the case? and will it be permanent or will will
microsoft fix this? as I pay £6.99 for the service but what good will it be
if I cannot access it in Vista?

Also I have a lot of links and stuff stored in my MSN premium so don't
really want to get rid of it if I don't have to?

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated before I decide if I want to
upgrade
