MSN 6 Public Preview Now Available | |
|
||
| Time: 14:00 EST/19:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

"MSN Messenger 6 helps users create their own online identities through customized display pictures, backgrounds and emoticons. They also can share more of themselves -- silly or serious -- with IM contacts by competing at live online games, sending photos to their friends, or sharing animated emoticons that breathe life into that sad old :). In addition, MSN Messenger 6 lets users connect in fresh, new ways -- via a webcam, a multitude of mobile devices or a Tablet PC -- while blocking spam and helping protect privacy." | ||

"MSN Messenger 6 also offers innovative features that allow users to do the following:
* Choose a personalized background from a wealth of options such as cartoons, sports or international locations; create their own background from favorite photos or logos; and share favorite background themes with IM contacts * Select customized display pictures of their favorite pet or celebrities or other pictures to represent themselves to contacts * Choose from more than 150 fonts and 16 colors of type to represent their personal style * Save favorite IM conversations to a personal hard drive with just one click via message logging1" WOW.. yeah really innovative. No one else has thought or implemented these features in a IM client before. This is Microsoft innovation at its best! Congrats! |

| I agree. I prefer nice functional yet simple design not a monstrosity. |

Odd...my banner ad in Messenger says "Download MSN Messenger 6.0"
As for innovative, I think they are stretching the marketing term a little too much. However, keep in mind that many have been following MSN Messenger's footsteps in different areas as well. 1. MSN Messenger 6.0 is the first Messenger to have *.xml based history chat log (great for corporate clients and web/data processing). 2. MSN/Windows Messenger is the first Messenger to have the pop-ups down by the systray notifying you that someone has come online. Others have followed. 3. MSN/Windows Messenger is the first Messenger to offer the Alerts system with mobile connectivity and the ability to send instant messages from a cell phone to someone online using MSN Messenger. 4. MSN/Windows Messenger was the first to offer online storage of your contacts, allowing you to sign on from any MSN Messenger on any computer to see your contacts. 5. MSN Messenger is the first to offer Remote Assistance 6. MSN Messenger is the first to offer the ability to browse the web together There are probably more, but the good thing is that it sounds like people are getting the features that they have asked for. And as mentioned by someone else on this board, everything can be turned off if you don't like it, or you can download a different Messenger. |
