Hi, all, I'm confused about msn, windows live messenger, hotmail, and windows 
hotmail.  I have msn on my machine but it's an earlier version.  I hit enter on 
it and it put an msn installer on my desktop.  I don't have a hotmail account 
yet because I'm nervous about any graphical info needed for signing up as I 
live by myself and can't see the identification capture graphics.  Is there a 
difference between windows live hotmail and regular hotmail, and which does jfw 
work best with?  How about msn and windows live?  Which is most appropriate.  I 
don't know whether to sign up with what I have, and when I get on the internet, 
I have DSL and my automatic home page is msn.com and microsoft, and I'm either 
taken to the sign in for windows live where it asks for ID, or RSS feeds.  How 
invasive is MSN or windows live?  I got yahoo messenger and took it off as I 
found it to be too invasive.  Are there chat rooms in msn and windows live, and 
can you find a random chat partner or contact, or do you have to know 
somebody's ID for them to contact you or you contact them?  If there is some 
kind of random finding of chat partners feature, how well does jaws work with 
this?  I use Jfw 9, and I used to use ICQ years ago.  Thanks for help and have 
a blessed day.
