Thank you for the information.
I for one am confused on the differences between
XP windows messenger and MSN messenger.
I do not want to subscribe to MSN, I already have
broadband and have no need for another ISP unless I
misunderstand what MSN is all about. I do not want MSN
home page etc. The only feature of the previous windows
messenger I used was the hotmail interface.
