Well I have a felling that yahoo and msn is swaping ideas for each others im service cause.

1.When yahoo released 6.0 it had newly added Display pictures.
2.After a few months of yahoo 6.0 being out msn got a Listen to Music tab(Unlike yahoo they did not intergrate it tho)
3.Yahoo also released talking emoticon things wich now in the future release of Msn Messenger 7.0 they are bringing out winks almsot exactly the same thing as yahoo's talking emos.
5.The very attention getting feature in yahoo is the  buzz feature it's now being brought to msn in the new release as a nudge.(thanks Sean)
6.Msn Is now allowing you to sign in as  offline like yahoo messenger(thanks coobydoo)
7.Msn added a serch bar to the new msn just like in yahoo 6.0(thanks gerado)
8.Msn has changed the prefrences menu for the new release and it now looks like yahoos prefrences menu(thanks jren)

Whats next you will be able to change your nickname in yahoo like in msn messenger that would be really awesome but anyways how do you all fell on this.

Thanks for your time,
   The Don

P.s Know anything else they share please post so i can add to my list

The nudge feature is like the buzz feature in yahoo...

and what hapens if they satrt with those innoying im inviroments

u can sign in offline or sould i say  "invisible"

well the im imvironments can be passed as msn background (but not really)

I think MSN and Yahoo are just in competion with each other to see who can come out the the best IM'ing software.

like google and microsft

wtf,

MSN add the search bar too, yahoo has it, i believe from yahoo 6.0

i think people give them ideas, maybe they dont know about eachothers features.

I noticed the preferences windows are similar from the screenshot of the Messenger 7 preferences. Instead of having the tabbed window, it has a big window with a list at the side with items you click. Thats what the preferences of Yahoo are like.

ok ill add that soon

Thats quite true actually, maybe they have a secret contract or something, and they both get money, or maybe they steal each others code somehow, like theres a leak of the yahoo source...

its seems to me, that msn and yahoo aren't copying each other, msn is purely copying yahoo, everything on that list is saying that msn is getting something that yahoo already has... IMO its ludacris

Awhile back I heard Msn and Yahoo were useing the same email based system for both Yahoo and Hotmail. Maybe thats why.
