That's all I'm going to say :)
Sahil Malik writes Why MSN Messenger sucks.
I agree with his comments! The new MSN (version 7) clearly suffers from TooMuchShit syndrome. Go on... open it up and think about how many of those “features” you actually use. In the new version, MSN Messenger has a “Search” textbox and a “Search“ button, a “handwriting” tab so you can draw your message. It's got “winks”. What's that all about?
Which brings me back to my question - when is enough, enough? MSN Messenger isn't the only program that suffers from this problem. Companies feel they have an obligation to bring out a new version of their software every year or so. If the application was already working perfectly, they have to add more sh!t to it to justify a new release.
I still believe that managers and developers should learn to keep things simple. Think GMail.
Then again, maybe Messenger's target market isn't 20-something year old developers. Maybe it was meant for teens? I think I'm going to try Trillian.
