the graphics are just as crap as ever, the popups are in a different place, adn the fscking adverts wont go away (the tabs for places like tesco.com).

i dont see any tabs left
i dont care about the ads, its not like i have the window open all day, i use right click > send priv message

the only thing that bothers me is 4.7 opening when i open 5.0, or the inverse, but its actually nice to be able to log in to 2 accounts at same time

And if you are using MS GameVoice or MSNPlus be prepared to not use those programs until they are updated (unless you downgrade)

ads?
You mean the popups, or the ones in the MSN window?
The popups can be removed (in options somewhere) and I haven't really noticed those in the main window...

I haven't really seen any shocking new features (I haven't been looking for those tho)

I'm still using v3.6.

I neatly avoided v4.x, mainly due to the XP-style interface and homosexual oversized smilies.

MSNM - the Microsoft Network Messenger

As opposed to windows messenger (which comes with XP) which is an MSNM client but isn't actually MSNM.

MSNE is something entirely different and even more hideous.

No worries, just that a lot of people refer to the messenger as MSN and some people talk about the MSN explorer as MSN.

Both of which are evil - Im sticking with Y!M
