MSN Messenger 6 is NOT an upgrade to WINDOWS Messenger 4.7.. if WINDOWS and
MSN Messenger were exactly the same (general appearence notwithstanding), do
you not think that Microsoft would have given them the same name as they did
with Wordpad, Notepad, Character Map, Calculator etc..

I did a search in Google (typed in 'removing Windows Messenger) and came up
with this website..
