hawkmoon Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 if microsoft start charging they will loose a lot of users, since most of them are teenagers (13-18) and wont have the money to pay, so there will probably be a big shift over to yahoo / AIM oh well, yet another stupid move... 584752593[/snapback] I have seen no indication anywhere that MS is going to force people to pay for anything. I am a member of the premium content beta tester group and the only thing that we have been asked to look at is the premium emoticons, etc. There is nothing within MSN 7 that suggests that video conversation will go to a pay-per-use model. I don't know where or what Watcher95 saw but it is not included on any part of Betaplace that I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 You guys should really all try YahooIM - It's my fav right now. And it's free. It has what is called Audibles which are in essence big animated emoticons with an attitude. They can really lighten up a chat. http://messenger.yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+EvilWalnut Subscriber¹ Posted October 17, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 17, 2004 Way to go, self-proclaimed beta testers. You're going to end up ruining it for everyone in the test. It's cool now to violate the NDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jami_welch Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 well maybe if things aren't payed for the program will be lighter and more streamlined. Then again it is from microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjori Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 When is microsoft going to learn, people dont "need" them nowadays, and frankly nobody is going to buy something they can get for free elsewhere. 584747378[/snapback] Heh. You paid for your OS didn't you? You could have just installed linux or bsd or any other free OS...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ember Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Who would pay for emoticons and stuff when you can get thousands of them FREE and mess.be?? :sleep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_9733 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 gawd people, there will always be some patch to get it for free no matter what microsoft does to it. If you dont like that use yahoo messenger, and anyone who pays for emoticons and deluxe display pictures should be shot or something, thats just stupid.
