Why a new version of Win Msg if it has less features than the current msn msg 6? nobody would install it

I won't install if if it has less features or if isn't compatible

It has less feature, of course...so far I've heard that no dp, no ce, no launch sites...etc...

Here's a review from betanews:

This is taken from the windows messenger site, and my post on mess.be.

"Windows Messenger is the instant messaging client of choice for businesses in managed environments with connectivity to Exchange IM servers and SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) based IM servers, along with connectivity to the MSN Messenger service."

The fact is it can connect to so many servers is its main feature. If you like games and messing with your mates, you dont want windows messenger. The point in removing its association with msn messenger.

btw... no more add-ins and no more checking e-mail through web based linkage. You gotta do it via an e-mail program. :/

to bad nobody has 95 anymore... i think that went out with the release of windows 98

Well this is easy to sort out.

all you need 2 do is Rename the folders in your Program Files folder to something like MSN messenger6 without it running. then install windows msg 5, I have done that with msn 6 & 4.7 & i have about 4 messenger versions installed 1.0, 3.6, 4.7 &  6.0

I'm downloading windows msg 5 now!
