    I guess you mean 'browser based' as all instant messaging is web based.

        Anybody else experiencing this?
        do you mean just the messenger bit or the entire msn site? (or both). The site itself has caused similar problems for me - and it appeared to be there new advertising features causing the problem. After I ran adblock plus - everything settled down. just fyi, in case its related to your issue.

            Just the messenger programme. Likes to take up an entire core for seemingly no reason.

            Yes. My bad.

                    Not your bad, IMO. The Web is just World Wide Web of documents delivered via the http protocol, making it synonymous with "browser based". MSN uses an entirely different protocol over The Internet. Perhaps

                    Anyways, the standalone messenger client uses hardly any CPU for me, even with those flash ads all over it.

                        Ah well. The adverts on Microsoft's offering were doing my head in anyway. Enjoying Pidgin muchly.

                            For people that use Pidgin: Can you get it to notify you of new Hotmail messages? Friend likes it and this seems to be his only stumbling block to switching.

                                Theres a check box under Accounts->Account->edit account that says "New Mail Notifications"
                                Hope that works.

                                You can log to hotmail also by going Accounts->account->open hotmail inbox.
                                Dont panic, its organic.
