RE: Whats the difference Between Windows Messenger Or MSN Messenger?
There is often confusion that surrounds Microsoft products that have similar names, such as Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger.

Here's a quick rundown of the key differences between the two programs:

* Windows Messenger is a Windows XP -- only product.

* By default, Windows Messenger is installed in Windows XP.

* MSN Messenger is for Windows 95/98/98SE, ME, 2000, and Macintosh -- not Windows XP.

* They both support instant messaging, voice calls, and files transfers, but Windows Messenger additionally supports video calls, application sharing, shared whiteboard, and Remote Assistance.

* Windows Messenger makes use of some technologies that are built into Windows XP, such as acoustic echo cancellation, reduced latency, and high bandwidth codecs.

* Both programs are interoperable so that users who have Windows Messenger can communicate with users who have MSN Messenger.
