Move over MSN Messenger, the successor Windows Live Messenger has finally arrived. Having been in beta stages for quite a while now, the full public release is now available to download.
- Call their phones. Call their PCs.
Call your friends’ mobile or landline phones. It’s great value within the UK or internationally. And calling someones PC is always free. - See them on the screen
Show and tell: get a webcam and start a video conversation within minutes. - Share stuff
Set up a Sharing Folder with a friend. Drop in photos and other stuff, as much as your computer can handle. See it even when one of you is offline. - A network of millions
Tap into the world’s largest IM network, with hundreds of millions of users worldwide. - Soon: talk to your Yahoo! friends, too
Soon you’ll be able to use Windows Live Messenger to talk to your friends who use Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. The world’s largest IM network is getting even bigger.
To be honest, very little has visibly changed and the drastic overhaul I was hoping for never really materialized. Thankfully I have Skype for voice chat, so Windows Live just fills my text messaging requirements.

And I was hoping it would tie in with Xbox Live, as it is called Live Messenger now :(
From what I know it will do eventually.
Oh, OK, that’s better. :d

i have just got a new laptop with windows vista. i have windows messenger but every time i open it dep kicks in and shuts down the program. can somebody please.. please help me.:-?
:(( I also purchased a new laptop with vista, and I cannot open messenger either – like Lee and Caitlyn I have uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, rebooted and anything else I can think of. When I try to open it it starts, and I get the login screen, and then it says, messenger has encountered an error and the program will now close… or something like that. anyone have any ideas? you’d think microsoft would have thought of this before releasing vista
My lovely laptop is all Vista-fied, but no matter what I do, and believe me, I’ve spent hours trawling the forums looking for a solution, NOTHING works when trying to sign into ANY form of msn messenger, and for that matter, Yahoo messenger. I have the patch for Acer laptops to stop the DEP error, but it won’t let me sign in, instead telling me there’s a problem. I’m not all knowing when it comes to computers, so short of throwing the laptop across the room, what can I do???
when i sign in 4 windows live messenger it says my firewalls wont allow it
