Greetings,
Actually, there are several differences between the two. Most notably, MSN Messenger 6 has
support for display pictures, custom emoticons, has a different interface, etc. whereas
Windows Messenger supports SIP-based communications services, Exchange IM Server, etc. Which
one you use is up to you, and a matter of personal choice (and based upon your needs and
likes), however one thing to keep in mind, Windows Messenger must still be installed on
Windows XP in order for MSN Messenger to retain full functionality (Remote Assistance,
Whiteboard, Application Sharing, etc.), however MSN Premium shouldn't be affected.
MSN Messenger is centered around MSN technologies (Hotmail, MSN Member Profiles, MSN Mobile,
etc.) whereas Windows Messenger is centered around Windows technologies (Exchange Server,
Office Live Communications Server, Windows Netmeeting, etc.).
Both clients however can make use of Microsoft technologies, like the .NET Messenger service,
.NET Passport and .NET Alerts.
