According to a post by a Microsoft employee this week on the Windows Messenger 5 newsgroups Windows Messenger 5 Beta 2 is due to be released this week by the team.Maybe more we’ll see some big changes but I’d very much doubt it, it seems at
the moment that Windows Messenger is clearly a corporate version of the two Instant
Messaging applications or what some would call a “slim lined” version
out of the two, for those who want complete Windows XP compatability without the
frilly bits of MSN Messenger 6.
Whatever happens more details are likely to come near the end of this week.
