What the heck is with MSN Messenger lately?

Has anyone else noticed that MSN Messenger keeps kicking you off every couple of minutes, seemingly at random? I hope this is happening to at least one other person or I think I shall go stark raving mad.

My own personal theory is that is has something to do with the new "improved" .NET version of Messenger. The only problem I had with the old one was that I couldn't sign on in the first place. But this one is like, "Come on in! Stay a while. No, one second thought, get out." Surprisingly, the former was less frustrating...
