Thread title is inaccurate: "Microsoft Messenger 5.0 Out Last Week!"

People have been picking it apart already, with a resounding "meh", apparently.

Like this one from early July for example?

While im here.. What is all the fuss about with MSN?, Its such a hideously ugly app. And as if that wasn't bad enough, it takes up incredible amounts of screen space
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

I don't see how you can hate Adium, Adium is a far better app than MSN will ever be, I live in the UK and I agree that no one uses any other service but I refuse to use MSN because quite frankly it sucks.

Today I was searching through my Adium logs for some client information from a chat, and I noticed that Adium has implemented a Spotlight search box in their log window. It found exactly what I needed, too. I thought, "why would anyone ever use the crappy official MSN client?"
