Yeah it works fine to you but if you happen to read all the problems people
are having with the forced upgrade then you might realize it's not just me
having the issues. It's not just here but also
microsoft.public.msn.messenger newsgroup also. According to microsoft 1/4 -
1/3 of the people who were forced to upgrade are having issues and I fall
into that category. I'd expect 8.5 to have the bugs because it's a beta
version. I just wish 8.1 would have a better customer support base being
that none of my questions are being answered here in the newsgroups.
