I haven't used MSN Messenger in a long time. I tend to use Skype these days, but I suddenly thought of a friend of mine I used to chat to on MSN Messenger so I fired up messenger to see if they were about.

First thing to annoy me was the forced upgrade. I had to upgrade my messenger in order to use it... so I did.

Then I boot it up and I have no contacts, I'm starting again from scratch.

Am I missing something, or did messenger really just force me to upgrade and then not bother to import my contacts????
