So long Messenger?
I recently (yeah, late in the game I suppose..) got very upset with Microsoft Network Messenger Service. Yesterday I tried to send a mediafire-link using previously mentioned service, when I was told:
“Meddelandet kunde kanske inte skickas på grund av att ett okänt fel uppstod:”
Translates to (for language-consistency) something like:
“The message could not be sent because of an unknown error:”
Turns out that Microsoft censors all URLs that contains “download.php”. Not ok.
In the end it all just adds up to the (as an Apple-product-user: still rather triumphantly) spitefulness towards all products and services developed by the corporate Microsoft-monster.
Just the other day I found myself rather amazed on, what that fucking X-box 360 had me go through, just to enjoy some single player, offline gaming. Ok, I might be extra testy and judgemental on the subject of interaction. But seriously? Has Microsoft developed anything worth the effort, the last ten years? Will they ever turn the ship around? Or will they just continue to live on the mere size of their corporation? (And of course the craziness of that CEO..)
Anyways, starting today, I will lay of that unusable “messenger service” for an indefinite future. If you’ll need me, I’ll be residing on Skype.
