    We worked around it.

        I love this quote from the article:

        "The answer is, 'They could, and they're probably thinking about it, but they can't do everything and do it well,' " Mr. Donato said. "Or at least I'm hoping they can't."

          It doesn't... go into Settings and Accounts. You can change your display name without touching your email address.

            Btw, looking at GMail, we now get 2.5 Gigabites of free space and it's growing...

                  i am considering downloading the google talk, but....

                  with MSN, i have the option of using passport.com to register my yahoo or gmail address (any address really), and using it with MSN.

                  Is this an option for gmail?

                  Only reason im hanging onto MSN is cuz I can use my yahoo account with it, which I've used for years and for everything.

                      I've had my yahoo account since 99. Don't feel like changing.

                      Yahoo gives me 1 gig. That'll probably grow. I dont even use 4%. I dont need more.

                        You need to use your Google account, which means you need a gmail account for now (I believe).

                        Google account will be more necessary in the future...I use it for Google's saved searches and personalized home page feature already, on top of gmail and Google Talk.

                          I can imagine Google being a juggernaught that is neccesary to internet life, but for now...

                          i have yahoo for email, fantasy sports, and occasionally music. And its my favorite way to check sports scores and general news.

                          When i discovered I could use my account as an account for MSN, that just sweetened the deal cuz now noone is sending email to a hotmail account i never checked.

                          I login to yahoo once, and I have everything. If i switched over to Google now, it would only be more logging in to check everything.

                            So has the novelty worn off or are you all still overwhelmed by how capable this minimalistic interface is at allowing you to talk to all three of your 'poly buddies dumb enough to download this?

                                It's spread like wildfire at work and I've got 23 contacts and growing on my Google Talk list. Overwhelmingly positive response. Most of the defections are coming from MSN.
