Microsoft announced Thursday morning an update to its Windows Messenger real-time communications client that will allow PC users to make phone calls from their computers, via participating service providers.
The update will be available Oct. 25 in Windows XP versions of Messenger. Messenger supports audio and videoconferencing, application sharing, online collaboration and instant messaging.
The new PC-to-phone calling options will be included in a downloadable update to the Windows Messenger feature within Windows XP. In addition, an update to the MSN Messenger client will enable this new PC-to-phone support for users of previous versions of Windows.
