Sounds about par for the course. MS AdCenter sucks. The interface is abysmally slow, to the extent that it locks up all the other tabs I have open on Firefox. They frequently, randomly decline keywords only to reinstate them when I query it. They sent me 17 emails the other day telling me that campaigns had been suspended but when I logged in they were all running fine. And on top of that they seem to have bugger all inventory to sell in the first place.

The only positive about AdCenter is that you can at least get hold of someone in the UK on the phone. In fact, they seem a bit too keen to call and I've had to ask them in the past to email instead as it's more convenient for me.

EDIT: One other advatage came to mind. If you have campaigns on Adwords you want to run on MSN, you can export them as CSV from Google Adwords Editor and then import them straight into MSN. It doesn't work properly (at least in Firefox) but it does 95% of the work.
