More Information on MSN Messenger

Windows Live Messenger (WLM), formerly known as MSN Messenger, is a freeware instant messaging client for Microsoft Windows first released on 22 July 1999 by the Microsoft corporation, aimed towards home users. It is part of Microsoft's Windows Live set of online services. The current version is 8.0, which was released on June 19, 2006. Amongst its users it is still often referred to as "MSN," (referring to pre-8.0 versions) though in some parts of Latin America and Spain it is known as simply "Messenger". Windows Live Messenger is often used to refer to the .NET Messenger Service (the protocols and server that allow the system to operate) rather than any particular client. The business-oriented client for Windows, which also uses Microsoft's .NET Messenger Service is called Windows Messenger. It is possible for virtually any computer with an Internet connection, Windows XP and Internet Explorer to connect to the Messenger Service by using MSN Web Messenger, or one of the unofficial equivalents (which have advantages such as compatibility with browsers other than IE, but do not have an interface that mimics the one of the Windows Live Messenger application).

With MSN Messenger you can chat online via text, voice, mobile phone or even video conversation -- in real time -- with your friends, family, or colleagues. Express yourself with winks and dynamic display pictures or share photos, files, searches, and more instantly. You can also chat with your contacts to and from a mobile device. Get MSN Messenger now! It's FREE! Plus, Windows XP® users can now use Dynamic Backgrounds and send Voice Clips!*
MSN Messenger 7 features include

Video
Hear the laughter and see the smiles with Video Conversation** from MSN Messenger! Full-screen video lets you see each other while audio/video synchronization gives you a True Conversation experience.

Voice***
Quality audio lets you hear each other while you chat. Speak your mind instead of just typing and let your voice be heard! Talk in real-time and have True Conversations. Plus, send a Voice Clip through MSN Messenger.*

Expressions
Share your emotion when the mood hits you! Get the conversation started with new animated winks or shake things up with a nudge! Add a little more personality to your expressions with dynamic backgrounds and display pictures.

Sharing
They want what you've got, so don't keep it to yourself! Share special moments, everyday humor, photos, and files. And with shared searches, you'll always be on the same page. MSN Messenger makes it easy.

Mobile
You can send SMS direct from MSN Messenger to your friends' and family's mobile devices even if they're not MSN Messenger users. If you're offline, replies to your mobile messages will be stored for when you next log on. MSN Messenger helps you connect with people on the go.

Personalize
MSN Messenger has never been so personal! New features like Nudges and animated Winks help you get someone's attention or emphasize your point. You can create custom backgrounds, show unique display photos and personal names along with a message like "working from home". We've also added Dynamic Display Pictures that will change emotions based on the emoticons you send. There's no harm in having a little fun, is there? ;-)

Search
MSN Messenger includes MSN Search capabilities - directly from your conversation window! You can conduct a web search on any word without having to launch a separate Search window. If you select Shared Search, the results will be shared with both parties. You can even ask a direct question and the search query will provide the answer.

Here's an overview of the features in MSN Web Messenger:
group conversations, customization of your text font, size and color, emoticons (no custom emoticons!), send and receive e-mail messages, add contacts to your contact list, toasts and sound alerts (for every new message received and when someone signs in). NOT included are audio/video conversations, "fun & games" applications, file exchange, display pictures, window backgrounds and custom emoticons.

Like the contact list in MSN Messenger, your MSN Web Messenger contact list displays your current and pending contacts and information about their status.

You will see some or all of the following groups in your contact list: New e-mail messages, People who want to add you (click a name to accept or reject the invitation), Current conversations (click a name to open the current conversation window), Online (click a name to open a conversation window), Not online (click a name to send an e-mail message to this person)
