Msn Windows Messenger Live has a new look and feel for MSN. The changes that have been made are a smart move toward accessibility and functionality. These new features don't just look good, but rather they work good as well. With this version the fancy bells and whistles have matured into well integrated devices that are a functional part of the program.

MSN has provided easy access from messenger to a number of the other properties that they offer including windows live mail, windows live.com and windows live local. It is also possible to easily access your hot mail account or live.com email. You can even search the web using windows live search.

Not only is this program user friendly but it is also easily customized to suit your needs and desires. These customizations include the ability to go Chrome or colored on the main and chat windows. This provides you with an IM portal that is truly your connection to the rest of the world.

With MSN Windows Messenger Live there are plenty of new features. Many of these features go above and beyond what has been seen by IM users in the past. In fact with these features this device is no longer just an instant messenger.

One of the most exciting new features is the PC to Pc calling feature. This feature is a step up from the old style audio chatting. Naturally in order for this device to operate correctly both users will need a mic and a set of speakers or headphones with mic. What's great is these calls are totally free regardless of the geographic location of both parties. However there may be some lagging or low quality connections, but this is more dependent on the internet connections of both users than it is of the program.

It is now even possible to make actual phone calls using MSN Windows Messenger. Actually you will be using the built in voice over IP support and a third party phone service. These calls require prepaid phone time from a major provider and then you have
the ability to have phone conversations with people in over 220 countries for as little as 1.9 cents a minute. This is a great way to stay in communication with loved ones at home if you are traveling abroad.
