VoiceGroup in 4.7

[Kevin]

Hi,
Looking for some input on Msgr 4.7.2009.
I have an associate who has XP Home and he received an
prompt to update his Msgr. After he did, under "Actions"
he had an option to start "VoiceGroup" which apparently
would allow him to have a voice conference with multiple
people as long as they were using this same version of
Msgr.
I have XP Pro installed and have run 4.7 for several
months now and have NEVER seen this option under
my "Actions" button. Is it possible my acquaintence has
this option for some unknown reason? I'm positive it is'nt
MSN Messenger, I just checked it out earlier this evening.
We are looking for something that would allow a small
group of users (4-5) to have voice conferencing
capabilites over the Internet WITHOUT having to pay for a
service.
If anyone has any ideas or can help with some suggestions
it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

Greetings Kevin,

"VoiceGroup" is a sample application in the DirectX 9 SDK. To be honest, I haven't really
experimented with it much, but you can add this to your own Messenger by installing the
DirectX 9 SDK on your own PC.
You can find the DirectX 9 SDK here:
