i use msn mostly, but aim and yahoo are both on my pc because some of my friends are too lazy to make a new email and install msn or yahoo. so i am bascially forced to have yahoo and aim and msn... i like msn because it is so easy to learn. 8)

So if MSN Messenger and MSNM isn't the same, then what is MSNM? :?

I use MSN Messenger 7.0, and I've tested my Gmail account on it as well (just haven't transferred my contacts yet)...

MSNM works with ANY mail accounts. you just have to register the mails that are not msn and hotmail.

Yep, they're both the same. But I think MSN's Messenger has more functions compared to Windows' one.
