Microsoft’s next generation of its instant messenger; Windows Live Messenger formerly known as MSN Messenger will new security feature in version 9.0 to report and block user who send unwanted message or spam, known as SPIM (Spam Over Instant Message)
Another big feature is Multiple Points of Presence (MPOP) which is basically means you can login to Windows Live Messenger from different location/computer without logging out another instance of Windows Live Messenger on the other computer. Previously, whenever you login your account on different computer with the same account still logged in on the other computer, the instance on the other computer will be forced to logout.
Some of the other new features:
- Signature sounds - I’m still not sure how this will looks like.
- Per contact sounds - Choose different sounds for different contact.
- Animated Avatar - Now you can use GIF format images for your avatar/display picture.
- URL Status Message – URL now clickable.
From what I can see about these new features is Windows Live Messenger will be even more bloated. I already stopped using Windows Live Messenger a few years back (it still known as MSN Messenger at that time) mainly because it consumed too much resource. Every new version will become less responsive and use too much memory and only featuring feature which is not so crucial for normal IM use.

Hi Mike, Don’t know where to ask this question. I’m using Windows Vista Premium Home on a Toshiba Satellite P305D which has a built in camera, mic, and speakers. I have installed Windows Live Messenger and have contacted a friend via video. We both have DSL. My friend’s video and sound are great but my sound is distored and has a distinct echo that is very annoying. There also seems to be a lot of nasty feedback. Do you have any idea what the problem is and who I might contact for advice? I can’t seem to locate the issue in any of the help sites. Thanks, Carl
Hi Carl,
I am positive that your build in equipment is problem. Why don’t you try and get USB webcam, it is cheap nowadays.
Regards
