[font=verdana][color=green]Okay, I'm going to lay out exactly why Skype is better than MSN.
1) Interface: The Skype interface is a lot neater and concise than the MSN one. You have a chat screen on the right-hand side and the list of contacts on the left-hand side. This makes it easier to have multiple conversations, as the conversations are all under one application and ergo one tab. With MSN...it's very clunky. The conversations form different tabs, which means if you have multiple conversations, very quickly your tabs are going to get pretty messy pretty quickly.
2) Presentation: This kinda ties in with the interface. With Skype, everyone has the same font. This makes it very easy to read the conversations you are having, especially if you are having a conversation with multiple people. With MSN, however, everyone has different fonts and different colours; just plainly, this can make it very annoying to keep up with the conversation - especially when people use a lot of emoticons. Skype has them, but they are much more restricted than on MSN.
3) Groups as contacts: In Skype, if you are added to a group, you can save that group as a contact. In MSN, if you are added to a random group, you can't save it as a contact. So, it's fairly obvious which is better and why.
4) More people on Fakku have Skype: Sure, some people do have MSN, but many more have realised that Skype is simply better and has more people on there, so they make the transition from MSN to Skype.
In fact,
a study actually compared Skype with MSN in terms of the technical side of things, like their bandwidth consumption and data-transfer rates etc. The short story; they conclude that Skype is of a higher quality than MSN is.
I don't know why you are being so stubborn. Maybe it's because you truly believe MSN is better, but without using Skype I can't believe that. Maybe it's because you don't want to download another application that you'll "hardly use". Perhaps...although I daresay that you hardly use MSN due to most people making the move from MSN to Skype, and besides; it's barely a few dozen megabytes in size and if you don't like it, you can just delete it. Nah, I think that it's just you not wanting to lose face; from what I can tell, you've refused to move from MSN to Skype for a long time, so you just don't want to "cave in" to peer pressure. That's what I believe honestly.
In fact...downloading Skype and giving my contact name to people on Fakku was one of the best Fakku-related things I ever did, as it allowed me to make some great friends I wouldn't have made if I hadn't done so. These friends all know who they are and would probably agree with me to that effect.
But, if you don't bite after all that, then whatever.
