MS Launches Windows Live Messenger

Posted in IT, On the Intertron by Will on January 31, 2007.

Good news, IM addicts: Microsoft have launched their new IM client (basically just a revamped version of MSN Messenger).

Microsoft are emphasising the video and voice calling features, plus adding an offline (text) message service too (like ICQ has had for nearly 10 years).

To kick it off, they’ve created a site with a series of (somewhat) humorous videos. Check it out.

    Number 1 - mildly funny.
    No.2 - mildly funnier than no.1
    No.3 - a tad funny but not as funny as no.1 and pale into insignificance when ompared to no.2.

    I was thinking in a Monty Python-esk fashion when I wrote this comment which makes it mildly funny to me and will probably cause you to wonder, “Is this tosser gone completely barking mad”?

    To which I will reply, “Yup!”
