Solve : MSN goes crazy or makes us slaves?? |
|
Answer» This morning (it is 08.22 here) I tried to log on MSN and it GIVES the message I put below. What does that mean? MS wants us to do exactly what they want? just click no if you don't want it.yeah?what's the big deal,but choosing to install the newer version wasn't a bad idea at allYou can't refuse. It says you MUST! If you choose NO then you can not get back to log on your previous version. First, I don't like MSN Live, second it takes about 50mb where older version is 8mb. It brings with itself tons of useless things, does not show my contacts' nicks properly just their emails. Finally I want to continue with my older version and don't like anyone to tell me what to use and force it. This is just unethical. I am talking about MS guys, not you.Use the windows one.... The thing is Peccavi, like it or not, it is Microsoft's prerogative to choose not to support an older version of their client on their network. (The keyword here is their.) If you don't like the Windows Live client I suggest you look into non Microsoft alternatives. Here's a few that support the MSN netwok: Trillian Pidgin Miranda IM Pidgin all the way! Seriously, if you don't like it so much then just use an alternative, there are many available.Quote from: Peccavi wrote to Miccrosoft Dearest MSN,Hi Elman, Thank you for contacting Windows Live Messenger Technical Support. My name is Dawn and I'll be glad to assist you with your concern. Based on the information I received, I understand that you are using MSN Messenger 7.5 on your computer and is satisfied with it that is why you do not like to upgrade to Windows Live Messenger. However when you try to log in now, you get prompt that you have to upgrade to be able to proceed. I know how important this is to you and I look forward to providing you with the necessary assistance. Elman, Microsoft has issue a mandatory upgrade to serve as security UPDATE to resolve a publicly disclosed vulnerability in MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution when a user accepts a webcam or video chat invitation from an attacker. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of the affected system. We apologize if this is causing you inconvenience, but please know that your security is our utmost concern. To upgrade to Windows Live Messenger, follow these steps:... Hmmm Quote Hi Elman,i guess that means, Quote For your own goodYep. They don't want to spend resources PATCHING up the old the client when they have a new one out. So instead they force an update to the new one.If you are so against upgrading it, just use one of the alternatives that Deerpark suggested. Keeping version 7.5 is not an option.I gave up. They convinced me. I am using MSN Live.Quote from: Peccavi on September 16, 2007, 10:10:06 PM I gave up. They convinced me. I am using MSN Live.It's not really so bad... is it?Quote from: Comp Guy on September 17, 2007, 04:53:02 PM Quote from: Peccavi on September 16, 2007, 10:10:06 PMYes.Quote from: Calum on September 19, 2007, 12:13:22 PMI gave up.
