MSN Messenger log in problems
-
According to .NET MEssenger Service Status it is: .NET Messenger Service Minor difficulties hmmm..... how do they class the fact that no one can use it as a "Minor difficulty", more like "Major fcuk up" to me.
We brought out this new and very similar version of our expensive software because the old version was......old....It's a good enough excuse for Microsoft so its fine for us.
Now, see - that's why you don't work for Microsoft. Not being able to use the software is trivial, there's *piles* of software no-one can use lying around for one reason or another. If in this case people actually *want* to use the software, well then that's free publicity almost, reminding the public that they really *do* want MS software, and so why not go buy more of it, eh? "Major fuck-up" would be more along the lines of MSN Messenger deleting all your files and then launching nukes at your home... ;)

I've been having problems logging on to MSN Messenger on and off for the past two days now, with today locking me out entirely. Even the Service Status page nine times out of ten will not show, instead giving the error "this website is too busy to handle your request". What on earth is going on here - surely if Microsoft/MSN are pushing Messenger so hard they'd make sure they had the ability to cope with the demand? :confused: Presumably this Trillian thing still needs to log you on to MSN, so wouldn't help me? :~ Argh!

I don't know, it would force more people to use decent IM's like Sonork. The main reason why ppl use MSN a lot is because it is easily availiable to windows users.

I use MSN because it is easily available and easy to use. Most of my friends user either MSN or Yahoo! messenger. I didn't particularly like Sonork because it had a terrible UI. Jon Sagara When I want something, I just go out and buy it. That makes me a go-getter. -- My sister

Lol, nicely worded. Do they have a log book to note down these sorts of problems - it would make for an excellent published book one day, "101 ways to loose your job at Microsoft"... :rolleyes:

Forget military invasion, just let anyone you don't like use MSN, it'll soon have them sorted out :-)

not messenger itself but hotmail has been a pile of bull dung while tryig to access it via OE or the web unless I turn of IM and then the damn thing turns itself back on again when I open OE
Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

I assume that the MSN system is bogged down by having to deliver all this spam to my hotmail inbox. Sorry about that folks - I didn't give out my hotmail address, Microsoft did. And I've got the higher level spam filter on, but it doesn't do anything. I tried changing my place of residence to Elbonia, figuring that would be less attractive to marketers, but the site wouldn't take it. I'm certain that the load will drop once I've completed four more PhDs, finished getting my everything enlarged a couple more times, and refinanced my entire neighborhood. Please be patient...
