Msn Messenger 7.5: Services
built 614 days ago
In August 2004, Microsoft introduced a browser-based version of the MSN Messenger client which can be used on any computer with a compatible browser and access to the Internet, without the need to install the Messenger software beforehand. This 'Web-messenger' is very limited, and can only be used to chat. It is ... possible to use the Messenger Service on a mobile phone using Microsoft’s MSN Mobile service. Again, Microsoft has elected not to allow their browser-based client to run on the Mac platform.

The MSN Messenger Service is Microsoft's answer to the ever-popular ICQ and AOL Instant Messenger clients. While many of its competitors have heaped feature upon feature in an attempt to be all things to all people, Microsoft has chosen to take a more streamlined, lean approach to the MSN Messenger.

When MSN Messenger was first released it featured support for access to America Online's AIM Network. America Online continually tried to block Microsoft from having access to their service until eventually the feature was removed, and has not re-surfaced in any later versions of the software.[3] Now the software only allows connections to the .NET Messenger Service, requiring a Microsoft Passport Network account to connect, as well as limited contact with Yahoo Messenger.
