Microsoft has a major investment in its Live strategy, with a lot of time, money and resources going into multiple projects. One of those is Live Messenger, its instant messaging client that competes with AIM and a host of other IM clients. It's doing pretty well, Instant Messaging Planet reports.

Microsoft said this week that its Live Messenger instant messaging client has now reached some 300 million users.

However, in perhaps what's just as significant an announcement, Microsoft said those users are spread out among 76 nations and 48 languages worldwide.
