Bill Gates uses MSN Messenger and anyone can add him to their list by simply adding BillGates@hotmail.com don't miss this chace to talk with the great man and more!!
Oh come on! this is a review on a messaging software... you are not going to be getting any sensational revelations by any standards ! (Though if you do add billgates@hotmail.com you could meet someone pretty interesting even if it is only a wannabe.... I'd probably add SharonStone@hotmail.com if I actually wanted some excitement)
Okay getting back to the topic and away from fantasy land (now don't start crying) heres MSN Messenger in a nut shell:
It provides a chat client which lets you add a friend as long as they are using hotmail. The thing I like is that your list of friends is not stored on your computer so that everytime you reinstall you need to go hunting for them but is stored online so you can access it from anywhere in the world.
System requirements are as follows :
Computer/Processor Operating System :
86DX/66 or higher
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0 or later PowerPC
MacOS 8.0 or later
Disk Space:2 MB available
Memory:8 MB RAM
Browser:
Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 4.0, Netscape Navigator version 4.0, or higher
Additional options some of which are currently TOTALLY ILLEGAL in India are as follows:
World-wide phone calls: Call anywhere in the world for a very low rate. You can still call anywhere in the U.S. for free up to 5 minutes. (VSNL is going nuts screaming daylight robbery since this is eating to their revenues like anything)
Voice conversations: Chat with your friends from your PC-anywhere in the world
Easy access to Hotmail: See how many new Hotmail e-mail messages you have. And get notified whenever you receive a new Hotmail e-mail message.
In conclusion if you hate having to hunt for friends to chat with them, are sick of waiting for ages for hotmail to open to see if you have any new mails and have someone in US to call up and talk to and commit your first criminal offence at the same time... GO GET MSN !
Okay so maybe it did get a little sensational after all....
