Next month Microsoft is combining all of the differently named versions of its messenger service into one called Windows Live Messenger. Since its release in 1999 Windows Live Messenger has also been known as MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger and Live Messenger.
Windows Live Messenger is the most popular instant messaging service in the world (apart from AOL Instant Messenger in the US). The application originally allowed people to send messages to each other over the internet, however it has now evolved to let people share videos, share folders, play games and call landline/mobile phone numbers (through Windows Live Call).
If you’d like a look at the new version the beta (previously known as MSN beta) is available for download here, you can also read more about Windows Live Messenger on the Inside Windows Live Messenger blog.
