Microsoft Corp. today released Windows Live Messenger, available at Windows Live Messenger, one of the first of more than 20 new Windows Live services to launch globally over the course of the year.

“Windows Live is all about giving consumers the tools and services they need to be in control as they stay connected to the people they care about, on top of the information that is important to them, and better protected across all their online activities,†said Martin Taylor,corporate vice president of Windows Live and MSN at Microsoft.

Features of Windows Live Messenger include the following:

• Video Call - The free, synchronized audio and video service in Windows Live Messenger

• Microsoft LifeCams optimized for Windows Live Messenger - Microsoft Hardware and the Windows Live services group announced last week a line of webcams that are designed for use with Windows Live Messenger.
• Sharing Folders - Now sharing is as easy as dragging and dropping a file. Customers can more easily share their files and personal photos with family, friends and colleagues on their Windows Live Messenger Contact List.

• Windows Live Contacts - Contact information is always current with Windows Live Contacts in Windows Live Messenger.

• Integration with Windows Live services - Windows Live Messenger integrates with other Windows Live services such as Windows Live Search, Windows Live Local, Windows Live Mail and MSN Spaces.

[hunt3r]

Yea no ads here either. One thing though, does anyone know how to make links open in the default browser and not IE?

 

[Nikhil]

[Mohit]

why the dumb poll ???? anyways i downloaded it long time back

 

[hunt3r]

well, all links open in FF only for me :S :S ..... as default....

I mean links in msn. When ur chatting with someone and they give u a link. It opens only in IE.

 

[Nikhil]

I mean links in msn. When ur chatting with someone and they give u a link. It opens only in IE.

:lol: That was what I was referring to....it opens in FF for me

 

[hunt3r]

Are you using messenger plus?

 

[Freaky]

I mean links in msn. When ur chatting with someone and they give u a link. It opens only in IE.

Opens in FF which is my default browser. Do a recheck if FF is indeed your default browser.

I have long abandoned MSN when I read their licensing terms. I don't want whatever I discuss with my friends to become IP of MS hence way off. The only good alternative for me is GAIM , u guys should try it would be pleasantly suprised.
