I prefer the 6.2.2 or whatever it was. One thing I really don't like about the BETA V7 is once installed you cna't get rid of it I went into start>control panel>add/remove and unistalled all MSN programmes and yet 7 is still here. Do a serach for it on PC (search drives) and it don't exist - YET IT IS STILL HERE

Don't like that, I like to be able to delete and instlal things when I want to, not do as the PC says - I know best, not a computer lol.....

Much better than the older version though.

Got it, it's really good.

Only prob I have is when it tells you how many e-mails you have under your sign in name it tends to say 0 a lot of the time where in fact I have a few.

Love the nudges and handwriting and the fact you can choose your status before you sign in. ie you can sign in and appear off line. Overall a big improvement over previous versions.

I'll try and find out how my mate got the handwriting option working on mine.

I'm sure there is part of XP that doesn't install automatically, he had it already because he's a web developer.

look near the bottom, you need the journal viewer to do the handwriting!

Cheers
