    Hate it but have to use it. Some contacts on it. Used to have about 100 contacts but people tend to be dissing it now and using facebook to communicate.

    Hundreds of millions of users cannot be wrong—Windows Live Messenger is the most popular messenger on Windows. The unified sign-in with Windows Live ID makes it easy to share your life with friends, and What’s New feeds keep you up-to-date with what is going on around you.

    completely pointless to geeks and nerds like me but if ALL your friends have it it makes allot of compatibility problems to be using digsby instead of the actuall software so eventually you will give in and just download it.

    Over all its a pretty slick piece of software

    The only messenger I use, I don't really like the UI, and it's kinda slow too. Good messenger, make sure you've installed Live Plus too though.

    Windows Live Messenger has to be my favorite instant messaging program out there. It blows AIM and Yahoo out of the water.
