O.P. Windows Live Messenger (New official name for MSN Messenger 8.0)
From what i read on http://spaces.msn.com/members/MessengerSays/

It says that the name is not gonna be MSN messenger anymore, but Windows Live Messenger.

There is not going to be the butterfly any more.

That you can run either msn messenger or windows live messenger.. just like MSN messenger 7.0 and 7.5

Check this.. quote..

quote:
Final Thoughts (for now) : 



- Windows Live Messenger is not out yet - but I can promise that as soon as it is, we'll let you know. Keep using MSN Messenger. We worked hard on it!



- Windows Live Messenger and MSN Messenger will not be two separate clients in the sense that you cannot have them both on your computer at once. It's one or the other, just like MSN Messenger 7.0 and MSN Messenger 7.5



- If you're scared that MSN Messenger is ending, don't be. This is not the end of MSN Messenger, but a Metamorphosis. Come with us on this journey, it will be worth it. (Oh sad, metamorphosis makes me think of butterflies. Sniff)



- I'm embarrassed to even have to talk about this, but for now, it's still an issue: Windows Live Messenger and Windows Messenger are still not the same thing. Just pick the one you like to use, and close the other one up, you're not meant to run them both, one is just a bigger brighter flashier version of the other.   

 

- Come back to the blog! Everything you'll want or need to know about Windows Live Messenger will find it's way up here. That, and I'll take it personally if you don't come back to visit. Next time I'll make snacks. Ok, bye.



It's impressive...

RE: Windows Live Messenger
hmm so instead of telling my friends... "I'll talk to you on MSN"

it'll be "ill talk to you on Windows live"


wtf. Everybody calls it just "MSN". CHanging that isnt going to do the brand any favours =/

Its a stupid name. Whats the point of changing an established brand name? I cant really think of a good reason why it needs to be changed!

You dont change a brand like that for the mere sake of it...

Maybe because of the Yahoo & MSN combination..

Anyways.. I think it doesn't change much for me, I'll probably switch to Windows Live... Just want to be up-to-date..
