Whether they call it MSN or by its newer moniker, Windows Live Messenger, 27 million users agree it's America's second most popular IM client.
Standard on most computers with a Windows OS, Windows Live Messenger integrates Windows-based programs with a sleek, features-rich IM. With the beta testing of Windows Live Messenger 2009, users can now:
- send and receive IMs
- add Windows Live Messenger contacts
- create IM groups
- participate in webcam and PC-to-PC calls
- send free text messages
- receive offline IMs
- chat with Yahoo! Messenger users
- chat with gamers on the XBOX 360 system
- update status messages
- share files and photos
- and, personalize the messenger with a rich library of emoticons, fonts, colors and skins.
Philanthropists can also participate in Windows Live Messenger's IM Initiative, which shares a portion of the client's advertising revenue with the charity of each user's choice for every IM sent.
