[ad name=”postsqrRight”]Microsoft often takes a bashing, and they don’t (always) deserve it. Many prefer their shiny apple gadgets and often seem to over look Microsoft.

What do you mean my “contact list is full”?
Just had an unexpected problem with Windows Live Messenger (MSN)… apparently I have too many friends? This is stupid! I don’t want to have to keep removing one friend to add another! 🙁
