Best MSN program?

Just wondering what you guys use for MSN? I'm tired of Windows Live Messenger 14 now as it just keeps going weird and using like 50% CPU. I've tried version 15 but I just hate it. Any decent alternatives?

im using Emesene currently and i'm finding it very good. Nice and customizable so you can remove all the rubbish you don't want

WLM 2011 is getting better, there is a new A-patch out for version 15.4.3508.1109 (latest) that gets rid of the photo and video sharing. Back to good old drag and drop to send files, and no more "watch together".

But it really isn't that good. Yeah it does the bare minimum and is lightweight. Using this emesene and it's pretty nice. Anyway to change from the horrible beigey colour? I'm using the Windows Live theme.

I tried Pigin and while its nice and light its lacking webcam support, does emesene support webcam?

I liked Pidgin but the transfer speeds were rubbish even with the latest version that supposedly fixed them.

I've not tried it personally but apparantly it does? It does detect my xbox camera though not tried it in a convo
