A lot of people I know switched for a brief period of time before running back into MSN's arms. It's MSN all the way for me :)

Skype is great for the phone/microphone aspect, but I would never ever use it over msn for chat......

Yeah, Skype is really good for the VoIP thing, but MSN is the best for IMing.

Never heard of Skype not gonna be bothered learning about it, just go along with MSN. Since this seems like a 'MSN is crap but a last resort' thread, a friend just sent like 10 lines of text and i didnt receive any of it. Sure does help convos :)

Yeah. My dad uses it to play Yahtzee with his friend because you can also share screens between users. And the sound quality is really good, it's almost phone quality which I think is pretty good for VoIP.
