Thanks.

Greetings Pavel,

Not too much; there's some file transfer fixes, improvements in performance, support for LCS
2005 Federation functionality, and some updates with regards to how Messenger performs on
Tablets and other battery-powered PCs.

Hi,
We are a large company and have 5.0 deployed to > 2000 computers. I have
received a ciritcal update notice from microsoft stating that we must upgrade
5.0 to 5.1 as 5.0 is a security risk.

is 5.0 dead ? not supported anymore?
will there be a patch for 5.0 instead of a upgrade to 5.1 or is 5.1
considered to be the security patch for 5.0.
also we use SIP and will SIP still work using 5.1 on WXPSp2?
