| Using Windows Live Messenger, the new version of the instant messaging program MSN, you can chat online via text, voice or even video conversation - in real time - with your friends, family or colleagues. |  Zoom
 | Differences with the previous versions:
* Unlike previous versions, one can start conversations even when his or her status is set to Appear Offline, similar to behaviour in Yahoo! Messenger. The contact will receive the message as soon as he or she signs in.
* Nicknames of individual contacts can be customized to appear differently from what the contact has set.
* Windows Live Messenger onwards gives the ability to turn off prepending contact names if same person writes multiple messages. If the same contact writes more than one message, the contact name will be displayed for only the first message.
* Messages from contacts can now be time-stamped.
* A color scheme can be chosen for the entire application, including the status window, and not just the conversation windows. A paint brush menu is situated below the personal message box in Windows Live Messenger, to facilitate choosing colours.
* Microsoft Passport has been replaced with Windows Live ID.
* Word wheel search within the contact list. | | Download this file - 16238 KB |
