People will keep on using MSN for a while, but there'll probabaly be a gradual shift to WLM.

all our friends argueing how it is not MSN Messenger and is Windows Messenger?

See attached file for differences between Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger. Windows Live Messenger is just continuation of MSN Messenger, and is part of Windows Live in general. Really it's just a rename and a new version. Windows Messenger is separate.

As for me saying "you know what that mean..." I was meaning Messenger Plus! Live will follow WLM 8.0 Final release!!

ye i think most people when they find out there is a new Msn messenger - WLM - dey will change yet i still doubt people will say windows live messenger! instead just say msn or windows live mayb?!?! could be a possibility for a shortened version!

I often find most people who arnt that up to date with stuff like this - I.E they dont care - seem to only donload the newest version when they 1) find out theres a new 1 ( when someone who is allready using it tells them ) 2) When they can be bothered!

just my views

@sufcste, you attachment is Windows Messenger vs MSN Messenger, not Windows Live Messenger! And it's nice  to say MSN (the letters) but it's like weird that someone will say: Go on "wlm" in the speaking language, the letters don't fit together

yeh thats hat i think.... we will just have to see how things go ... whether people do start changing it or not!

I know what I linked to; that's what i said! If you actually read my post, I said that document detailed the differences between MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger, and then went on to say that MSN Messenger has become Windows Live Messenger. Earlier on in this thread, people were asking the difference between all three, and that's what I was saying.

People may just say 'Live Messenger', or even just 'Live'. Windows Live Messenger doesn't lend itself well to spoken abbreviations.

People will use Windows Live Messenger and continue to call it MSN.

I call it messenger now, and so have a few of my friends which is good , although i migth start calling it mesenger live

anyway, i suggest you get into the habit of calling it messenger, they do in Japan

"LETS DO MESSENGER!" they say
