For me Gravity is best but it isn't very stable on my XP machine - I've
no idea why. I have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling it. Haven't
found anything to beat it, though.

What version? I'm at 2.50, build 2000, and have no problems w/ XP Pro.


Same one. Mind you, although I said it's unstable, it could be that it's
*made* unstable. I've been thinking about it. Some programs just don't
seem to be comfortable being run together. If I'm using MSN Messenger
all sorts of things seem to become unreliable.

You may have something there. I don't touch MSN anything. Or Outlook.


I'm stuck with using some programs I'd rather not simply because other
people just won't believe that it's just as ease - or easier and more
reliable - to use programs that aren't 'just there' on their computer
when they plug it in.
I tried getting people to use another messenger program, but not a
single one would. If I want to talk to my friends and family via
messenger, I'm stuck with MSN. Which I also just had to uninstall and
re-install. The thing crashes more often than a drunken dodgem driver.

I think trillian will handle Messenger traffic, along with pretty much every
other IM system out there. The price is right, too.
