Windows Messenger 5.x is designed for a corporate user...
Windows Messenger 4.7 is designed for the home user...
There is no talk about MSN Messenger here (which is again another messenger)...
Differences between MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger
Differences between Windows Messenger 4.7 and Windows Messenger 5.x
To clear some things up....
Windows Messenger 5.x has SIP support. However, many people report that this is buggy...
Windows Messenger 4.7.2009 apparently can also support SIP, which works better then the 5.0 version...
SP2 installs Windows Messenger 4.7.3000.
New things added (for details see
here):
• Block unsafe file transfers
• Require user display name
• Windows Messenger and Windows Firewall
Things removed & bugs:
• It doesn't support the Official Messenger Add-in (to get some functions which aren't in 5.x like Hotmail support, MSN Profiles, Mobiles...)
• Mail functions don't open in hotmail anymore but in Outlook (Express)
• Auto-signing has a bug. It will not sign you in automaticly anymore, even if you checked the option.
• Also SIP support seems to be deleted...
* Messages no longer say "xxxxx says:" for your own text, only for the other contacts.
To solve it, you have to download and install Windows Messenger 4.7.2009 again. And download and install the official add-in again. All can be found on
