Microsoft livens up instant messaging
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft is scheduled on Tuesday to publicly launch Windows Live Messenger, its next-generation instant messaging program that automatically updates contact information and lets people share files by simply dragging and dropping them onto a contact list.
Windows Live Messenger, the upgrade to MSN Messenger, is the first core application of Microsoft's new line of Windows Live software and services to be launched publicly, said Adam Sohn, director of global sales and marketing public relations.
Windows Live Messenger was released as a public beta in May with international PC-to-PC calls with full-screen video capability.
