Future versions of Windows Messenger?
Hello.
Does Windows Messenger have a future roadmap? It seems that MSN Messenger, or Windows Live Messenger, have replaced Windows Messenger for the consumer. And, Communicator has replaced Windows Messenger for corporate users because of its ties to Exchange and LCS. Will there be future versions of Windows Messenger? If so, what need does it fulfill for consumer or corporate users that aren't fulfilled by Windows Live Messenger and Communicator? Thanks - Dave

Future versions of Windows Messenger?
The Windows Messenger team has been disbanded for quite some time.
It is essentially a dead product. -- Jason Tsang - Microsoft MVP Read my blog for the latest in Media Center topics (and other topics that interest me) http://jtsang.blogspot.com More information by me http://jtsang.mvps.org http://www.classicsunveiled.com Find out about the MS MVP Program - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx "Dave" wrote in message ...

Future versions of Windows Messenger?
Jason,
Thank you for the information. In Vista, did Windows Live Messenger replace Windows Messenger as the consumer solution, and to consolidate with MSN Messenger? Is WLM a "go forward" product?

Future versions of Windows Messenger?
Greetings Dave,
Vista has no Messenger client actually -- just a link to the download of Live Messenger (which OEMs can swap out with their own partners). Windows Live Messenger -is- MSN Messenger. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2007 Jonathan Kay.

Future versions of Windows Messenger?
Hi Jonathan, you may remember us, our group uses American Sign Language to
IM communicate. Based on reading your observations and recommendations, we 'standardized' on MSN Messenger 7.5 which works very well including a recently MSN Messenger 7.5 download, for Vista Premium. One of our members upgraded from 98SE to Vista P., the other members of the group are still on XP home and XP Pro. Recently, we are all getting auto.suggestions to upgrade to Windows Live Messenger.--- Question? Since W. Live Messenger is the latest incarnation of MSN Messenger, should we all migrate to Windows Live M? --- We are happy now and would rather not disturb our process, however, one in our group read that Microsoft may abandon MSN Messenger as they did Windows Messenger in favor of Windows Live Messenger. Thank you for any comments. "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Future versions of Windows Messenger?
Hi,
Great to hear from you again. You can ignore the upgrade notification. Microsoft is still allowing MSN Messenger 7 and above to sign in (as well as Windows Messenger 4.7 and MSN Messenger 5 on NT4/Win95). I don't really think there's anything compelling in WLM (Windows Live Messenger) which you require. However, upgrading shouldn't break anything as is intended as an upgrade to MSN Messenger. It won't leave behind MSN Messenger like the MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger issue. I'm afraid sadly, there's no way to disable the upgrade notifications so you'll have to live with those or upgrade. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2007 Jonathan Kay.
