    It stinks! I've never, ever been able to do anything ID related without grief, and I'm still not able to. Forty five minutes to d/l and register twice on their sucky Messenger, and it tells me the server cannot be reached.

          Yahoo Messenger is the best I've used. The only other one I've seriously used is GTalk. I haven't considered MSN Messenger for purposes of this discussion because I laughed and uninstalled it. The ads Yahoo has started displaying on their IM are very annoying though.

          Cheers, Vikram.

            Ms doesn't really want Yahoo but rather they want some company that will help them improve their search engine market share. "Yahoo was never the strategy we were pursuing, it was a way to accelerate our online advertising business," Ballmer told a packed hall at a technology conference in Moscow.
