Windows Messenger allows real-time communication with other contacts who are using instant messaging (IM) services including those provided by the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as offered by Microsoft Office Live Communications Server. Windows Messenger also provides connectivity to the Microsoft .NET Messenger service and is the IM client of choice for businesses in managed environments. For customers using Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005, Windows Messenger 5.1 is the required client to take advantage of the following new features in Live Communications Server 2005: | ||

Sure. No worms will get in the way... you'll just have to deal with denial of service attacks when receiving malformed HTML, crashed instances of the entire client when a file transfer request with parenthesis in its name is received from another user, content length memory allocation errors due to unbounded buffers, 4 isolated RTF buffer overflow issues still uncorrected, improperly formed TCP CRC headers that cause many releases of Cisco's firmware to drop the packet entirely, still improper SNAC packet handling even after they claimed it was fixed, an HTML parser who's lexer routine has a nasty memory leak that I reported to them 8 months ago and has still gone uncorrected, an infinite looping and client crash error that occurs when your system time is changed in the middle of a file transfer and the internal client timer has gone low, improper hostname resolution that results in a fatal buffer overflow, and let's not even begin to discuss the utter lack of conferencing and markup collaboration utilities for use in a real business environment.
Besides that, yeah, I'd better switch. Windows Messenger certainly isn't perfect but once again, I see your incredible line of reasoning so you've got me convinced. This post was edited by aamendala on Sunday, March 27, 2005 at 02:56. |

| So, aamendala, you said you'd better switch. What is your company using now? |

Well #3, that comment was loaded with about as much sarcasm as I could muster.
Given that I work for the corporation which msucks hates so much, it is probably obvious that I run Windows Messenger, MSN Messenger, and Outlook as my client side communication apps. These interface seamlessly with Live Communications Server and the E-mail and IM collaboration functionality in Exchange Server. msucks original comment was about switching to GAIM. He claimed that if I did that, I wouldn't have to worry about worms. My point was to illustrate that there are plenty of other things to worry about and that neither IM system has attained perfection. Therefore, I have to make my judgment based on feature set, usability, and overhead administrative metrics. No communication or collaboration platform in the world comes close to touching what the combination of the Microsoft Server System and Office System can provide in this area in my opinion so no, I won't be switching. :) This post was edited by aamendala on Monday, March 28, 2005 at 02:22. |

aamendala, I misread your comments. Since "hesucks" had his comments pulled, I didn't have the "wisdom" of his remarks to compare to yours! Give his typical spew, I nevertheless was fortunate.
We are looking at several corporate IMs presently, but haven't decided upon which one where I work. |
