Just installed it, didn't effect my Java 6 console or anything else that I can tell, working fine. Seems to be pretty robust.

This is an overall GREAT program, and with the use of MSN PLUS! it makes up for most of the stated lacking features, like invisible/offline login and amount of default text that can be typed in.
My rating is due completely to the fact that M$ has choosen to deploy this product, in fact the only out there that I know of using UPnP, but this very thing in fact makes it so un-reliable in file transfers and voice connections.
They have provided no tool to diagnose the UPnP/Router connection issues, or ways to configure your system to resolve, so in the end, you are left with a handicapped product, that is short one, but MAJOR step away from GREATNESS.

You guys that just whine about stuff, offering nothing really substantive, why do you even bother? Your comments are not productive, no one thinks you are intelligent for it, you just come out looking like immature, irrational adults. If you do not like how a product is going, why not put a list together of something useful and email it - afterall, technology is customer driven! :)

No one uses it? Humm, that is funny, I have over 200 friends with MSN Messenger, more than I have on Yahoo and AIM combined. :)
For YEARS, MSN has been the better product for superior Audio/Video communications, file send abilities hands down compared to the others!
It is true however, that if you were running a router/NAT, you had many problems, it was not combination for the average user, but that doesn't negate it's quality, but something MS needed to more quickly address by implementing SIP fully, as they have done in Windows Messenger.
As far as bloated, well they pretty much all seem that way how, prop. tool bars, pop-up blockers, and a variety of "features" I think most users have never requested, but the companies have felt we would love love love - NOT!
The AIM might in fact be a better IM when it comes out, this is yet to be seen, until then and as always MSN Messenger RULES!! Annoucements like this only show their continued desire to make it the premier IM tool. :)
