I picked MSN since they got rid of the chat option.
I have a real dislike to the AIM and ICQ chats. It's okay to have private ones, but the public ones? Ugh, no way. Too many bots roaming around.

for me it's miranda all the way !
open source im that allows you to use it on all IM networks .. AOL,ICQ,MSN,JABBER,YAHOO,IRC .. you name it...
plus it looks great after you customize it :

it has loads of plugins you could use for almost everything...
a truly amazing piece of software and extremely light on resources. |

| Trillian is the best for multiple messengers IMO. I recently went down to just msn messenger, so I got rid of trillian,but if I ever decided to put back another messenger I'd d/l trillian again. |

I agree, plus, it doesn't have the chatrooms anymore.
I don't know why I have something against them, but it just makes me mad to go into one.

Eh, I hate those bots! I still can't understand why two of my cousins' purposely have a few on their buddy lists  . If they could get rid of those bots on AIM I wouldn't mind it so much. If AIM is so great to ppl then why do I catch them on MSN more  (hence part of the reason I got rid of AIM). |

Well, I don't understand you Trillian-loving people. I just downloaded it for kicks but the sounds are really annoying, especially the IM received sounds! Well then, just turn the sounds function of, right? If I do, I have no way of knowing if the person I'm IMing has replied yet and I don't want to keep going back and checking or just having it on top and waiting for him/her to reply.
I am an AIM user, and I fully recommend that to using Trillian, esp if you're a heavy AIM user. Expressive abbreviations such as brb (not specifically that one, however) typed in capitals come back in trillian replaced by an emoticon. I was talking to my friend the other day and he said "LOL" to me and Trillian sent it back to me as an emoticon similar to this  . This is only one of the issues that I find a tad annoying.
I suppose Trillian is the answer if you have a lot of different messenger accounts from different services but personally it just doesn't cut it for me  . And yes, MSN Messenger is perhaps the most pretty and best-functioning messengers out there, but still lacks as much popularity as AIM. I haven't tried Yahoo!'s Messenger but it sounds excellent, as their email service is as well.
And what do you mean by bots? oh, like SmarterChild? |

You say you recomment Trillian, but then you go on to say how some of its features are annoying. A bit confusing...
I use AIM and Dead AIM, which isn't really a messenger in itself, just an add-on. It's a very useful tool, however. Many great features.
Also, BTW, for anyone who uses the newest version of AIM, and who is paranoid about spyware/adware, check your computer for WildTangent. This is installed with AIM, although it never tells you that it will do so. It's only used for playing games on AIM, which I never do, so I removed WT from my computer. AIM also installs a lot of other junk, which I find very annoying, but some patience can easily get rid of it. I did consider other messengers like Miranda and Trillian, but I still liked AIM the best, and with Dead AIM, it's a very powerful messenger. The only thing it lacks, is multi-messenger support (ability to talk to users on different IM clients), but since most, if not all of my friends use AIM, this didn't prove to be a big problem at all. |

Oops sorry, you misunderstood, let me clear it up for you. I had typed "I was a former AIM user" but decided against it and replaced it. The "that" in "and I fully recommend that" is AIM. I think it is somewhat easy to infer but still quite ambiguous. I recommend AIM to Trillian if you are a heavy AIM user. |
