On amsn's web site is often referred to as "aMSN" with that capitalisation. Is that the official way it is capitalised ? --21:33, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Added Features section
I'm kinda new to editing wikipedia, but I thought it would be useful so I added a features section like the one in the emesene article, which lists official client ando ther features. Any help expanding it would be great :)
As well, the screenshot of aMSN, clearly intended for the Criticism section, has wound up in the new section I made. I'm afraid I don't know how to fix this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalinda 99 (talk • contribs) 20:50, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] amsn violating EU patents?
That's what it site says. For the moment, its site is closed down because it violates EU Software patents. So sad. -- Natalinasmpf 23:19, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Back up. Now with an "enter" page talking about software patents --2mcm 08:08, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Specific Wording makes it sound like Advertising
"aMSN is not only available for Linux, but it is also available for any UNIX variant, Macintosh and Windows, as well as any other platform where Tcl/Tk 8.4 or higher is supported.", sounds a bit like advertising to me. Don't have the time at the moment, but will clean it up in the next couple of daysJohnstonDJ 14:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] aMSN running on KDE/Baghira under Gentoo Linux
Snapshot shown is aMSN running on OS X, not Linux. Adjusted.
- Actually, it is Linux. The guy who took it has tweaked his Linux to look like Mac OS X. I think it would be better to have it actually look like Linux - having the text say it's Linux and the screenshot show something which looks like OS X is confusing. --JacobPalm (talk) 15:43, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Release Date
Correct me if I'm wrong but is aMSN messenger first released before May 2006? --Ahmed 19:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- It is actually a lot older, when you look at the SF archive you see it goes back to version 0.83 released in 2003 --Blokker 12:25, 2 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.118.42.135 (talk)
[edit] Grammar
"aMSN is an MSN Messenger clone licensed under the GPL. Its main objective is to assist users who are new to the Linux operating system keep in contact with those who use the Microsoft program which is available only on Windows and Macintosh." This section doesn't make grammatical sense. Valeriya 02:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
