Windows Live Messenger, at one point, was the most popular messenger program on the market. It revolutionised the market and paved the way for may of the programs that have been created in its place. Unfortunately, Windows Live Messenger isn’t up to much today and has dropped down the pecking order when it comes to messaging programs. It is still available for download though and might be able to serve some purpose to anyone who spends a lot of time on their MSN or Hotmail account, as the integration with the email accounts can be very useful.

Windows Live Messenger was bought by Skype and has since fallen out of favour. When it comes to IM programs, if people don’t choose Skype then they tend to choose Google Talk. Windows Live Messenger doesn’t get much of a look in anymore, but it is still on the market and it does still have its uses. It can work well with both your email account and your social network account, and the fact that this was where the IM revolution began, deserves some form of respect.
