Its working for me too. Sometimes this happens though, so give it an hour or so. MSN might be ran on a few servers and so one but not others might have gone down, i'd guess.
Yeah I know, hehe. They must connect to some kind of server base though, and in that case, they can go down. I'd guess they'd be many around the world, which might be why some users will be able to log on while others are stuck until it restarts...
Or think...wouldn't you just rather use MSN Messenger anyway? hehe, its teh same type of thing...why create a new account for something else, when you have a perfectly good one?
