I'd not. MSN without MP! (is "MP!" an acceptable shortcut for "Messenger Plus!"?) is rather poor compared t other Instant Messengers like Yahoo's one (no unwanted ads or information in the bottom pane, more tools, native support for message formatting, etc.)...

Unfortunately my Yahoo! Messenger contact list counts 1 person (Yahoo! Helper) so I have to stick with MSN

I'd still use it, it just wouldn't be as enjoyable.

Yes i would use it does anyone remember before they found plus! and i think its fun just not as fun

I would still use it for 2 reasons:

1. All my friends are on MSN
2. I have a soft spot for Microsoft and Microsoft related products

Yeah, I used MSN way before I started using Plus...granted it wouldn't have all the extra stuff, it would still be a really good stand alone program.

Yeah I'd use msn.  I like Messenger Plus a lot and use a lot of its commands.  But messeaging other people is what i use it for.  Not to play with msgplus however good it is

I'd switch to aMSN or Trillian. MSN Messenger without MsgPlus! is boring. Still, I'd miss the MSN smilies.
