Windows Live Messenger released
Windows Live Messenger Ready for Prime Time
First major service in the Windows Live suite of Web apps to go live.
Windows Live Messenger, the next-generation version of Microsoft's instant messaging service for consumers, will be available for download in final form right after 9 p.m. PDT today.
The product will be posted as a free download, the Redmond, Washington, company said this afternoon.
This release is a milestone for Microsoft's Windows Live program. Windows Live Messenger is not the first Windows Live service to launch globally in final form, but it is the first core, major one to do so, said Brooke Richardson, MSN group product manager.

Re: Windows Live Messenger released
didnt like it that much specialy when u want to see the online users only, i mean in older version when u click "Send an Instant Msg" ull just see the online contacts but now its shows all whats the point in it u can do that by opening the main window.
Re: Windows Live Messenger released
Probably worth it for the Yahoo intergration .
"Microsoft will continue to support MSN Messenger, which until now has been the company's main consumer IM service. However, from now on, development efforts will be focused on Windows Live Messenger, whose client software runs only on Windows XP.
For example, only Windows Live Messenger, not MSN Messenger, will be interoperable with Yahoo's instant messaging service, she said. Microsoft and Yahoo said they would deliver the first phase of the services' integration in this year's second quarter. While declining to provide details, Richardson said they are on track to deliver that "very soon."

Re: Windows Live Messenger released
I like the contactlist window of the new messenger, especially the ability to change the color of it, was hoping for that feature
Re: Windows Live Messenger released
