Remember me posting a rectification about MSN Messenger 7.0.0820 on Windows XP? No? Well i was convinced you were allowed to without being bugged to upgrade since it said in system requirements you can use this version on Windows XP. Later i got told this got in the requirements by mistake (which was to be fixed) and that all on Windows XP will have to upgrade to windows Live Messenger.
Surprise surprise, today Microsoft decided that you are allowed to use MSN Messenger 7.0.0820 on Windows XP afterall!

MSN Messenger 7.0.0820 now available for Windows XP - posted by Anand
We’ve seen feedback from several people that they would like to stay on a version of MSN Messenger. Given that many of us currently on the Windows Live Messenger team also worked on MSN Messenger for years, we can appreciate the sentiment. Based on this, we have a new option we hope you’ll like.
For those of you on XP who are passionate about staying on MSN Messenger, we’ve now released the new, more secure build of MSN Messenger 7.0 build 0820 for Windows XP, and we recommend you install and use this build (rather than running MSN Messenger 7.5 on XP in Windows 2000 compatibility mode as we realize some of you are doing). If you currently have MSN Messenger 7.5 installed, we recommend you uninstall it via Add/Remove Programs and install MSN Messenger 7.0.0820 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...-9904-9505f47bed45
