Apart from the the fact that it is quadrupal the size of the previous version of MSN Messenger, the latest version has a few improvements that make it worth getting in my opinion. Offline messages, a feature ICQ had what, 7 years ago have now been added to the service, along with a shared files folder ( which does not require both parties to be logged in to access the files ), yahoo messenger support and a much stonger contacts system.

The feature that caught my eye on their webpage was their “full-screen” video conferencing.

That’s full-screen video at a screen resolution of 640 pixels by 480 pixels.

That’s not full-screen! That’s not even a legitimate screen resolution setting in Windows XP.

That’s just a lie.

For shame Microsoft, you’re normally much smoother than that.
