I'm trying to sign in to windows messenger, its a problem with the servers i'm sure, maybe they're getting overloaded with crap again or something?? There is definitely something wrong with msn and windows messenger at the moment, its seriously messed up.
It usually takes me 30 secs max to sign in, now it takes over 2 minutes, and the contact list doesn't load properly for absolutey ages, and I can't even speak to anyone at all.
The exact same things happens to me in window messenger aswell
