MS Messenger vs Live Messenger
I've been asked to install the new Messenger by a user, however, I'm
concerned with the performance impact to our system. IS the Live Messenger better or worst than MS Messenger on using system resources? I'm reluctant to install. Thanks

MS Messenger vs Live Messenger
Hi,
You asked how much system resources Windows Live Messenger uses. Mine (8.1.0178.00) currently uses 46 kB of RAM, and 36 kB of swap. It has logged less than three minutes CPU time since logon. As a comparison, the grid application I use to hog CPU at idle priority has logged 128 hours. I hope this is of some use as a ballpark figure. -- Thor Kottelin CISM, CISSP telefax +358 102 961 064 , PGP 0x327B7345 http://www.anta.net/

MS Messenger vs Live Messenger
Greetings,
Live Messenger is more demanding than Windows Messenger ever was. However, unless you're a really heavy Messenger user (tons of conversation windows, etc.) it shouldn't really be that noticeable to overall performance on a standard modern PC made this decade. -- 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.
