Latest Version of Windows Live Messenger Will Not Run in an x64 Environment
So, it turns out that Microsoft was developing a new version of Windows Live Messenger, released it, and is trying to get everyone on the upgrade bandwagon. While everyone running the previous/beta versions of Windows Live Messenger will be getting pretty prompts, it seems that there is a small problem. Anyone running a 64-bit operating environment, whether or not you're running XP or Vista, cannot upgrade to the latest version of Windows Live Messenger. In fact, it almost seems like Microsoft has dumped an x64 version of Windows Live Messenger altogether. The most recent version available for x64 customers is 8.1, while the current version is 8.5.

on top of that ms is doing shady stuff like privacy violations and making viruses just so that they can shove their wga crap down our throats when it doesn't even work a good bit of the time and ends up helping the pirates.
any one agree with me?
i think all that money filled their heads and they left their brains on the side of the road.
it's pitiful that people just sit back and take this crap. if your computer was your car it would've been in the junkyard A LONG time ago.
:nutkick:
btw: im using Windows Vista ultimate 64bit with SP1 RC refresh 2
regards
and get some PROPER messenger like Trillian :nutkick:
Here's an idea, stop using windows, and get linux if it's so much better. :shadedshu
Anyway...Lets refer to your signature where you thanked W1zz for good forums. These forums are good because people, for the most part, respect others opinions. Is it really necessary to attack Panchoman just because he has his opinion? No offense, but you're taking your anti-apple sentiment entirely too far.
EDIT: I mean, unless Steve Jobs came to your house and murdered your dad, I can't quite ever understand why you hate the word Apple so much...But everyone has their opinion.
yes i am...I do apalogize for my being of a dick... :o
Srry pancho...:(
oh and why question.. why are you so anti-apple?
old msn no problem you are lucky to get 10% cpu usage "max peak" and im quite ok with that.
I have taken my Anti-apple seminar too far, as Ravenas stated, and I want to apalogize for it...
compatibility is increasing.. but just cause its low compatibility doesn't mean that you hate it and shut it away.. that way it'll have even less compatibility.. whereas maybe you could've helped port something to os x etc.
Anyway i got in touch with microsoft before my free month was even up and told them to cancel it now! I said to them theres no way id pay for this sh1t!! I wouldnt use it if it was totally free. Its got major problems.

I mean its really bad when you run a live Linux distro and you still end up formatting your Windows hdd. :banghead::banghead::banghead:
