Re: Latest available version of Windows Messenger

Since it isn't a 'security' update, the 5.1 version of Windows Messenger
does not need to appear on WindowsUpdate to replace the 4.7.x version of
Windows Messenger.

If you need the added functionality found in Windows Messenger, you can
download the latest 5.1 version of Windows Messenger. If you don't, the
4.7.x version of Windows Messenger is up to date.

Download the latest version of Windows Messenger 5.1 here
