It is quite easy to force you to use the latest version. They've done it before and can do it again. If people were to stop removing the MSN Messenger ads, then the chances of Microsoft charging for MSN Messenger would be slim to none. Now, however, since people are removing MSN Messenger's primary source of revenue, the chances of them charging are higher.

WLM uses a different version of the MSN protocol to Messenger 7, so all they need todo is stop supporting the older protocol version (like they have done for all the older messenger versions) |

RE: is it true about msn 8 for money
As said before, it will most probably always stay free, it has always been a free service and should stay that way. It's not as if Microsoft don't have enough money to pay the people who are creating the software anyway.
The only time we'll ever have to pay for it is if they bring out a premier service, where there are crap loads more features or something, and you pay like £1 a month ;p.

RE: is it true about msn 8 for money
like many have said, these emails have been going around for a while now, i got one saying: "...if you dont send this message to 15 people of your contacts, you will have to pay for msn". They are all a BIG annoying hoax i reckon
