Windows® Messenger
Windows® Messenger is an
Instant Messaging program
that allows you to chat in real
time with your friends, family
and colleagues.
With Messenger you can see
when your contacts are online
and send them a message.
You can even send files, and
chat face to face with a Web
Cam and microphone.
A big advantage over normal
chat rooms is that you can
control who you talk to.
People need to know your
email address in order to add
you as a contact, which you
can decline if you want.
You can also block users on your contact list from chatting to
you if you want.
In order to use Windows® Messenger you need to create a
Microsoft® .Net Passport which is free and easy to set up.
Messenger will guide you through this the first time you sign
in.
