Skype is for vedio chating and voice calling more than chating... while msn is amazing for chating, file exachanging besides it has nice user interface and colors ... and amazing technical support ... once I had a problem in signing ... in less than 24 hrs they had solved my problem... and for my I have been using it for my whole life

I don't use voice or video chat, so I don't know about them quality, but skype is better for me.

I am not a fan of MSN or windows live or whatever they're calling it these days. I prefer Skype. Voice calls are great, I haven't tried VIdeo conferencing with it yet.

I prefer using AdiumX (Mac), Pidgin(Win), or MirandaIM (Win). I loved version 7 of MSN Messenger, then they went and put all these bells and whistles that really don't appeal to me, that really annoy me more than anything.

Skype is pretty good. I like the look of it, the feel of it, and it doesn't crash or play up like MSN for me.

There is only one problem I have with skype, ONLY ONE OF MY FRIENDS USES IT!

such a old thread!
I prefer to choose Skype, thoug I used te be a fan of MSN.
Since MSN has lots of annoying ads and it is becoming huge, I give it up. I change to choose skype.
in some country, skype is also very anoying, popping many windows and advertisements. this situation only happen in some countries, perhaps some companies which cooperate SKYPE modifiy the software a little bitter.
as far as I know, in North american, the skype is very clean. I like it. and when I need a new version, I go straight to skype.com, rather than any other different form urls. they are like traps.

haha c'mon MSN ?? I've used it twice and it was a bluff..
Skype is the best but the bad thing is it's not so used in my area so I don't really use it...
A great thing is the voice and video that works 100X better than on any other messenger service that I know...

i would have o say i perfer MSN to any other Instant messenger i have tried.
It has mant features that are just beter than the rest of IM applications...

The emoticons are by far the best, as well as the ease of adding custom ones.
The support for winks. And for setting the background
It allows you to "nudge" people.
The webcam, and video call features are the best ives seen.

But most of all, it is the most popular, so much easier to find friends on it. And there are also many addon programmes.

I use MSN, because its very populair, clean, fast and easy to use.
Tried skype once, but worked very slow in my opinion.
But I have to admit, that voice/webcam chat is also awfull slow on MSN.

So thats why I still use MSN

Skype for sure has better voice and sound quality compared to MSN.

Skype isn't slow really. Skype must be good when a big company like sony puts it in there firmware for there psp users to use.

I was watching this video where this guy was playing halo in his computer. Then he got a phone call and just went out of the game window and clicked accept the call. He then started talking to the guy, and he went back to his computer game and still was talking with the person. Of course he was using a mac, but i don't know whats that has to do with it.
