Epic Microsoft Failure
on: January 26, 2009, 10:40:42 pm
Two days ago, Windows Live Messenger suddenly stopped working. In a desperate attempt to fix it, I installed Windows 7. I attempted to enter my password into Windows Live Messenger only to realise, in horror, that microsoft had limited passwords to 16 characters. Silently.

My password is 17 characters long.

(I've since changed it)

You installed an entirely new operating system to fix your messaging program?

My mum is way more annoying. I'd need a side-by-side type thing to determine which is uglier though.

When using windows and you only use msn messenger. Just use amsn. It has most of the features of msn live. I just wish gyachi got ported to windows :blah:
