MSN Messenger to close
 
Windows MSN Messenger today announced it will be closing down it's popular service after it was slammed by Labour MP's for inciting paedophiles on the world wide web.


This comes as parents across Europe called for the 10 year old service to be closed after a 8 year old girl was lured into meeting a 34 year old known paedophile.


The service will terminate on November 2nd,and all accounts will be removed from the system

Well, I never use it, so I can't say I feel sorry.

But I do feel sorry about this:

NOOOOO! WHY WASN'T IT AIM!? WHY!?!!?!

WHAT!? What the hell!? It's the parents fault, don't blame MSN!

Now we all have to migrate to some other chat service.

I think it's the old messenger. Or else there is some other MSN Messenger we don't know about.
