Re: Most stable Messenger for Vista?



Greetings,

On Vista you really should be using Windows Live Messenger 8.1 as it's considered the "Vista
version" of Messenger. All previous versions won't work properly on Vista (although I've
never heard of disconnections specifically).

Our group uses American Sign Language to IM communicate. Based on reading postings and
suggestions published here, we have 'standardized' on MSN Messenger 7.5 which works well
most of the time although most annoying is a disconnect every 10-15 minutes. We live with
this experience although it seems more prevalently coming from a recently downloaded MSN
Messenger 7.5 for Vista Premium. (other members are on XP home and XP Pro)

--- Question? ---Since Windows Live Messenger is the latest incarnation of MSN Messenger
and replaced XP's Windows Messenger, should we all migrate to Windows Live Messenger. ? ---
in hopes of gaining a more stable with fewer disconnect sessions.-- Any suggestions will be
appreciated. Thanks.
