Windows Forum / Windows XP / Windows Messenger / August 2004Windows Messenger 5 - worth the download ?
how come windows update never picked this one up (it seemed to up to versino 4.7) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=77c3799f-6388-4193-8002 -be55584c1ac1&displaylang=en Is it ok to install if i use windows messenger (or my wife uses msn messenger) ? does it only work with XP ?  SignatureWoodzy http://www.rtdos.com (alt OS for games based on the classics) Greetings Woodzy, Windows Messenger 5.0 is actually considered a separate product to Windows Messenger 4.7 (although it does upgrade 4.7) and as such, why WindowsUpdate does not advertise it. Besides the handwriting support and UPnP file transfer, there isn't much new however for people not utilizing Live Communications Server or an Exchange IM server (in which case you would be using 5.0 already). Also keep in mind that Windows Messenger 5.0 does not support Add-Ins (so there's no support for Hotmail, MSN Mobile, etc.). ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2004 Jonathan Kay.
