Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger running together?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

Microsoft specifically says the two should not be run together....Thier is a
download at microsoft downloads,type:messenger Locate the msn add-in
for windows messenger.This lets you run windows messenger as msn w/o
switching.

Hi Andrew,

This is incorrect, they are designed to work together.

As well, the add-in support for Windows Messenger was removed some time ago.
