No-ads > http://msn.d1f.org/

It adds the "functionality" of logging in as 'appear offline' which I'm not sure if you can disable.
It also comes as two (2) patches, so I'm not sure which one does what :confused: the readme is quite vague.

Alpha, beta, preview.. doesn't make any difference to me, if it works I'll use it, because in the end that's all that matters

I'm curious why 4.7 stays on my computer when I've now got 6.0? How do I get rid of 4.7?

4.7 is windows messenger, 6.0 is MSN messenger. Details of how to remove Windows messenger can be found here - http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_mess_disable.htm
