Why can't windows users get pretty icons :(

[XP_01]

Because Windows sucks! No just kiddin', I think it has to do with that Microsoft needs to make those programs attractive for the Mac users. MSN Messenger is almost a part of Windows XP so they don't need to worry that Windows User won't use their programs.

The second thing is, Mac OS X has a 128x128 icon standard, Windows XP doesn't have that, and Mac OS X programs are Mac OS X ONLY so you can make a program that fully uses the new system. Windows programs on the other hand need to run not only on Windows XP (that supports 32-bit alpha blending icons) but also on Windows 98, ME and 2000 (that don't support transparancy and 32-bit icons).

That's what I think ;)

the current icons in windows are better than the aqua ones

and if ms would put aqua icons in messenger, they would look out of place in a windows environment

You all are complaing about icons. We can't get any functionaltiy on this ****ing platform. Damn, you'd think that dumb bitch who's heading the Mac division would at least change the damn skin.

I have listed a few more features and snapshots at http://mac.rjt.cjb.net/msnmessenger such as auto recovery from a crash and error reporting, as well as the new sign-in options and alerts display.

wish some one would make a OSX msn skin for the windows MSN,

as i have a mac themed desktop. and woud like my messenger to have the new OSX skin.

why do microsoft allways make office etc. look better on a MAC

they could reduce the size of the icons for windows apps. MAC ones look better.

Isn't there an Aqua MSN Skin with WindowsX MSN Messenger!? I'm sure I've seen one somewhere!

[Iain]

Yes, there is.
