	Windows Live Messenger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Windows Live Messenger (WLM), formerly known as MSN Messenger, is a freeware instant messaging client for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Mobile, first released on July 22, 1999 by Microsoft.
		Windows Live Messenger uses the Mobile Status Notification Protocol (MSNP) over TCP (and optionally over HTTP to deal with proxies) to connect to the.NET Messenger Service — a service offered on port 1863 of messenger.hotmail.com.
		Such examples are MSN Messenger's nudges being similar in concept to Yahoo's Buzzes [2], winks being a more primitive form of Yahoo's audibles [3], web messengers [4] (that allowed IM access from a web browser), and the introductions of two-player games and avatars being later than that of Yahoo's.

	Windows Live Messenger Overview - Tech News - Playfuls.com - Science & Technology

		All in all, the conclusion is that Microsoft has worked a lot at improving Windows Live Messenger, and although it does not pawn its competitors, it shows the preoccupation that the Redmond giant has had for its 220 million users.
		Windows Live Messenger is definitely more animated than all its rivals and I’m sure Skype, AIM or Yahoo Messenger should fear it.
