Greetings,

Netmeeting and Windows Messenger are separate applications, although Windows Messenger can
spawn Netmeeting (with a Start Netmeeting request), the voice/video technologies are
completely different.

Netmeeting is compatible with Netmeeting, regardless of operating system (Netmeeting does
come with Windows XP, started by clicking Start, then Run, enter "conf" and click OK).

There is no such thing as "NET.MESSENGER", so I assume you mean MSN Messenger -- the voice
capabilities of MSN Messenger 4.x and above (including Windows Messenger 4.x, MSN Messenger
5.x) are all compatible with one another. However, voice capabilities are limited to Windows
XP only (so Windows Messenger 4.x on Windows XP can have a video conversation with another
contact using MSN Messenger 5 on Windows XP but not with a user on MSN Messenger 5 on Windows
98). Note: this does not include the Logitech webcam support
(http://messenger.msn.com/support/webcam.asp) which is compatible with all Windows versions
that run MSN Messenger 5.
