Instead of giving that link, give the link to the download page itself, so A) people know what they are downloading and B) they can choose their language
Or at least say what they're gonna download (English Windows Messenger 4.7)
So, the "more user-friendly" links:
Windows Messenger 4.7.2009 for XP:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...6b4&DisplayLang=en
Windows Messenger 5.0.0482 for XP:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...ac1&DisplayLang=en
(Remember, both are different programs, therefor both are the latest versions...
differences between Win Msgr 4.7 and 5.0)

Windows Messenger doesn't need to be started for other applications to use it's API, it simply needs to be installed.
