MSN Messenger changes name and comes with VoIP.
Buy VOIP products at VOIP PRO!
May 9th, 2006
Today Windows Live Messenger Beta became available for the public. You can download it here. For a (very) short review you can look at my other blog. The reason that I am mentioning it here is that it now comes with VoIP included. It’s not the first time that a big instant messenger client is including voip. As I wrote earlier, yahoo went there before.
As with Yahoo, you will be able to make PC-to-PC calls and buy credits (from Verizon) to call to normale phones.
I think that Skype will suffer a little from this in countries where usage of MSN Messenger is high, like here in the Netherlands.
It’s not for the first time that Microsoft includes VoIP. It was in Windows Messenger, vanished in MSN Messenger and now it is back!
