what's the difference between MSN messenger and Windows Messenger?

[Orcrist]

Now I have tried MSN 6.0, and yes it has a lot of nice
features compared to Messenger 5.0, but it seems it can
not work together with Outlook Express, i'm very fond of
being able to see who is online and who is not in Outlook
Express, but it doesn't seems like it is possible with MSN

Greetings,

It isn't -- Outlook Express in Windows XP can only make use of Windows Messenger in the
'Contacts' pane.

does MSN Messenger have ads?

Hi,

Yes, MSN Messenger has advertisements in its main window (a small banner ad) -- that's all.
