The next-generation MSN Messenger. Along with everything you already love about Messenger—your contact list, emoticons, and instant access to your friends—there are brilliant new ways to connect and share photos (and other stuff). As always, it is free to download Messenger and use most of its features.
Windows Live Messenger has a fresh new look, but its still got all the features you know and love.
Get connected
Instantly connect to the people who matter the most—via text, voice, or video. Even if they’re offline, you can leave a message or send a note.
Take control
Choose from a variety of status messages for any occasion. Use Windows Live Contacts to control your personal information—who sees it and what they see.
Share yourself
Share your personal files, photos, and videos of any size. Just drag and drop into a Shared Folder.
Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista.
