Introduction to MSN Messenger
2007-10-22
MSN is the nickname used for the freeware instant messaging client that was developed and distributed by Microsoft in 1999 to 2005 and in 2007 for computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system (except Windows Vista), and aimed towards home users. MSN is best known by its short and sweet MSN nickname but it has now been renamed Windows Live Messenger in February 2006 as part of Microsoft’s Windows Live series of online services and software. MSN Messenger is often used to refer to the .NET Messenger Service (the protocols and server that allow the system to operate) rather than any particular client.
MSN is mainly used for instant messaging, including features such as voice conversations, webcams (MSN Messenger 7.0 and later feature full screen audio video conversations), transferring files, and built-in two-player online games. MSN Messenger allows messages to be enlivened with graphical emoticons, also called smileys, Flash animations called winks, animated display pictures, styled text, and many more with third-party add-ons. MSN messenger has come with many updates, the latest version being 7.5. However, even this version is no longer available for use, as when the user attempts to sign in, they are prompted with a message, which forces them to download Windows Live Messenger, as a result of security vulnerability. Despite MSN is still known by its nicknames and identified with its MSN nickname.
