I have used windows messenger and now use msn. The voice chat quality is
better on msn. It is as good as skype. And the other thing I don't like
about windows messenger is that who ever you add to your contacts get
automatically added to your address book in outlook express. I like to keep
them separate. So why not try windows messenger since it is already on your
machine and if you like it stick with it. Who knows.  We like to play with
computers so we will try different things.
