MSN Messenger

MSN Messenger, the free chat utility from Microsoft hits and ideal spot in the market. Very colorful, simple, and easy to use, it’s designed very well in a visual manner. Another benefit is that all of the advertised program features actually work on a regular basis. For anyone who already has a Hotmail account, you can simply type in your associated email address and password, rather than making a new user name.

However, most users should probably uninstall and remove the MSN Today welcome screen and turn off a few other options, doing so will make the IM application run slightly faster, but definitely much more smoothly. MSN Messenger makes use of labeled icons for file transfers, video conferencing, IM chats, and voice chats. At first glance, with all of the games and other fun characteristics of MSN Messenger, it might seem as though the program should only be used for talking or communicating with your friends and family, instead of with anyone at your office. However, MSN Messenger also decided to embed a number of business-oriented applications, specifically file transfers and a talent for XP networking. If you are trying to decide between all of the different IM programs out there, you may find out that MSN Messenger is a good choice for both home and work.
