MSN Messenger received a major upgrade to version 7.0 on April 7, 2005. This version brought wink features that were previously only available in threedegrees. This version also advertised items to sell to you including animated display pictures, emoticons and backgrounds. The contact list window style was also updated to match instant message windows. This version also introduced the Xbox Live Integration feature. This version also introduced digital ink and handwriting recognition support. It is the last version of MSN Messenger to support Windows 98, Windows Me and Windows 2000.[citation needed]

The first beta of the newly renamed Windows Live Messenger, Beta 1, was released on December 13, 2005.[6] Major changes and additions included offline messaging, an option to change the color theme of the windows, separated send and search boxes, a word wheel search box in the main window, and additional details for contacts when hovering over their names in the contact list window.[citation needed]

Major changes and additions in Beta 1 included a new installation program in conjunction with the release of Windows Live 2.0, a new look for all of its windows that matches the aesthetic styles of Windows Vista,[25] a new "bunny" emoticon,[26] and integration with Windows Live OneCare Family Safety.[27] Beginning with this version, updates could be downloaded and installed through Microsoft Update.

Notable changes in Milestone 3 include a new revamped and refined user interface to follow suit with the rest of the Windows Live "Wave 3" design, the ability to set a "Scene" by customizing the background image and color of the contact list, and the display of these scenes in conversation windows for improved contact identification and window management.[citation needed]

Milestone 3 also brings a new "Groups" feature that allows users to create a continuous group conversation between select contacts, newly redesigned status icons which now resemble small gems rather than the previous "Messenger Buddy" icons, a new default "Favorites" category in which you can place your favorite contacts for easy access to them, a new Photo Sharing utility that allows contacts to quickly and easily browse photos together, and a "What's New" section at the bottom of the contact list to outline recent contact updates. Display pictures have been moved over to the left side of conversation windows, and new colorful borders appear around display pictures to display the current status of that contact. Milestone 3 is the first version of Windows Live Messenger to use the standard window frame on Windows Vista in accordance with the user experience guidelines.[citation needed]

On December 15, 2008, Windows Live Messenger 2009 RC (Build 14.0.8050.1202) was released together with the other Windows Live Wave 3 software applications, now renamed as Windows Live Essentials.[37] This version saw a removal of the custom sign-in sound feature however it is still possible to select a sound for other individuals, as well as changes to how the background image chosen is applied to the conversation windows. This build also included over 200 bug fixes including the "Custom Emoticon Bug" and saving of pictures when using the Photo sharing feature. On January 7, 2009, the same build was released as the final version of Windows Live Messenger 2009.[38]

On October 13, 2005, Yahoo! and Microsoft announced plans to add interoperability between their messenger services.[69] The announcement came after years of third-party interoperability success (most notably, PowWow by Tribal Voice,[70][71] Trillian, Pidgin) and criticisms from Tribal Voice and iCast that the major real time communications services were locking their networks.[72] Yahoo! and Windows Live Messenger became interoperable on July 12, 2006.[73][74] For six years, Yahoo! Messenger and Windows Live Messenger users in possession of up-to-date software could communicate across the two networks. Instant messaging as well as transmission of emoticons, nudges, offline messages, presence information and personal status messages were supported.[75] On December 14, 2012, the interoperability ended.[76]

A client for Windows Live Messenger was developed by Microsoft for the Symbian S60 Platform commonly used on mobile phones such as Nokia smartphones and released on August 23, 2007, to selected markets. In May 2009, the client was made available on the Ovi Store. This version of Windows Live Messenger included many of the features of the Windows Live Messenger client, including grouped contacts, voice clips (max 10 seconds), image and file sending; as well as features unique to S60 such as tabbed chat windows and integration with contact list and other features of the S60 platform.[83] When the trial expires the cost to users of Messenger for S60 is 1.50/$2.94 for 30 calendar days of use.[84] As of February 2009, Microsoft stopped charging for Windows Live Mobile and the service is now offered for free.[85]

I have been recently annoyed with my Windows Live Messenger popping up on startup, cause I don't want to sign in every time I get on my laptop... So, I found a way on how to disable/enable this action, and I thought I would share it with the Instructables community!

P.S. I use Vista.

To make this work on XP, gmoon stated:

"In XP, you can also disable messenger from "Services", which is found under Performance and Maintenance -> Administrative Tools..."



Antagonizer stated how to remove it from startup in a different way. He said:

1. sign on to windows live messenger

2. click the down arrow that lets you select online, busy, away, etc. and go to the bottom and select "options"

3. Choose the "general" tab

4. uncheck the box beside, "Automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I log on to Windows.

5. Click the 'Accept' button.


...But that, for some odd reason, doesn't work for me. If it doesn't work for you...use my way. :)



The social view also doesn't handle huge windows very effectively. Microsoft says that an alarming proportion of Windows Live Messenger users run with the window maximized. Maximizing the new version of Messenger is certainly more useful than it was in the past, but it still fails to capitalize on all the space available to it. No matter how wide I made the window, it never grew to more than two columns of social information or two columns of contacts.

MSN or Windows Messenger is available as a component of Windows Me and XP. For older systems, there were either stand-alone installers in form of IExpress, as well as the installer for Internet Explorer 5.5, which included the messenger as an option. It is also available in pre-reset builds of Longhorn, but was scrapped from the installation image after development reset. Since then, Windows Live Messenger needed to be downloaded from the Microsoft web site[a]. It can be installed standalone or as part of the Windows Live suite. With the EOL of the Windows Essentials 2012 in 2017, it is no longer available for download at Microsoft. 0852c4b9a8
