Windows Live Messenger Out Of Beta

I am not a fan of MS especially MSN Messenger. Despite that fact, this still a good news since I am one step closer to chatting with my friends on MSN using Yahoo Messenger.

Windows Live Messenger Out Of Beta:
The same day when Yahoo Messenger 8 Beta launched, Windows Live Messenger came out of beta. Is this a coincidence?

Let's install the software. If you do that, you'll see there are a lot of opt-out options and bundles.

You'll also notice that Live Messenger cloned Yahoo Messenger interface. If Yahoo has Launchcast, Microsoft has Rhapsody Radio (but you have to pay for it). Both have an ad and a search bar at the bottom of the window.


So what's new in Windows Live Messenger?

* Live folders - share files with your contacts and synchronize the updates.

* Live contacts - update your contact card and it updates for everyone you want it to.

* PC-to-PC calling.

* PC-to-phone calls.

* Video calling.

* Live Messenger will offer users a sneak-peak at the upcoming Walt Disney movie release 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dean Man's Chest,' as well as an online video game based on the movie.

Live Messenger will replace MSN Messenger, that will still"
