Dan Miser - I hate MS Messenger

Tuesday, September 07, 2004

There. I said it. I feel better now. I did some digging on how to remove it from my XP system and came up with a couple of links:
Microsoft's sanctioned approach
Unofficial removal

I used the second method since I recall using it before on my machine (before my latest rebuild).

So what do I use for an IM client? Right now, I use Trillian. I like the fact that it has multi-protocol support. Everyone always thinks their IM client is best. Who am I to argue? I'd rather be neutral and still be able to chat with people without having 4 different IMs installed.

Postscript: I also looked at GAIM a while back. It was OK. Maybe it's gotten better over the past year or so, but I still came back to Trillian.

Oh yeah, Trillian is great. You don't receive HALF the messages people send to you (I'm referring to Dan Miser, not "you" in general).

Whatever...Somebody has too much time to waste on trivial things like removing MS Messenger, instead of like, mowing the grass, loading the dishwasher, reading political novels, drinking scotch, etc.

They're all the same and do the same thing. Get over it. It's like saying "I hate cars". LOL.
