>> Greetings Igor,

>> Most notably, MSN Messenger 6 has support for display pictures, custom
> emoticons, has a

> communications
>> services, Exchange IM Server, etc. Which one you use is up to you if
> you're simply using the
>> most basic functionality, connecting to the public .NET Messenger service)
> and a matter of
>> personal choice. However one thing to keep in mind, Windows Messenger must
> still be installed
>> on Windows XP in order for MSN Messenger to retain full functionality
> (Remote Assistance,
>> Whiteboard, Application Sharing, etc.).
>>
>> MSN Messenger is centered around MSN technologies (Hotmail, MSN Member
> Profiles, MSN Mobile,
>> etc.) whereas Windows Messenger is centered around Windows technologies
> (Exchange Server,
>> Office Live Communications Server, Windows Netmeeting, etc.).
>>
>> You can run both if you really want to (they have to be logged into
> separate Passports
>> however).
