Microsoft to Release MSN Messenger 6.0 Tomorrow
Tomorrow, Microsoft will release the final version of MSN Messenger
6.0, which gives consumers an integrated solution for text, audio, and
video Instant Messaging (IM); file sharing; online gaming; and other
features. To celebrate the release of MSN Messenger 6.0, Microsoft
will hold a contest each Friday from July 25 to August 15; users of
the product will be eligible to win cash prizes. The company will
randomly give away $1000 an hour for 10 hours to US consumers who log
on to MSN Messenger 6.0 and enter the Friday Fast Cash sweepstakes.
"Fast Cash Friday is our way of celebrating the completion and
final release of MSN Messenger 6.0, our most feature-rich,
personalized, and coolest IM service ever," Lisa Gurry, an MSN group
product manager, said. "This promotion and others we have planned for
later this summer are our way of encouraging people to see for
themselves how much fun they can have while IM-ing."
MSN Messenger 6.0, the most advanced IM client on any platform,
includes more than 60 new emoticons, a completely customizable
interface, photo and file sharing, access to online games, integrated
WebCam service, one-click IM conversation logging, integrated support
for cell phones and PDAs, and ink support for Tablet PCs. "With
Messenger 6.0, IM has changed forever," Gurry said. "Consumers can
truly make their IM experience their own and extend that experience in
so many new and different ways."
