MessageJim, I want to thank you for this info and I do believe it's topical.
Because of these upgrades I did feel it important that I learn Windows Live
Messenger with Jaws, and while I don't like it as well as Windows Messenger in
some ways I know Windows Messenger may soon be a thing of the past so thought I
needed to learn commands in Live Messenger. And since some may not have been
aware of these upgrades I'm glad you sent the info to us.

Hi everyone, Rick here again. As you know, we are in the middle of a
multi-phase rolling upgrade of the Messenger network that started last
Wednesday, September 12. I wanted to give you an update on where we are in the
process and what's coming next.
The first phase of the Mandatory Security Upgrades focused on the
Windows XP operation system and getting the rest of the XP user base onto
Windows Live Messenger 8.1. Focusing on just XP has allowed our customer
support teams to focus on Windows XP issues and it also reduced some of the
network load created by the upgrades. We have seen some issues in these
upgrades that we are trying to address in the newsgroups and through customer
support. Your postings to the newsgroups and this blog have been very helpful
in directing our support efforts to those areas that are preventing usage of
the 8.1 client. Thank you for your postings, and please continue to let us
know what kind of issues you are seeing with 8.1 on XP and Vista.
In the second phase, we are turning on the Mandatory Security
Upgrades for Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, and Windows ME. As noted
in the security bulletin, we have built a new version of MSN Messenger 7.0,
build number 7.0.0820, that will run on Windows 2000. This version of MSN
Messenger has also been tested for Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, and Windows ME.
Users should expect these upgrades to start soon.
To recap, the set of Messenger clients that do not have the webcam
security vulnerability are:
a.. Windows Live Messenger 8.1 (for XP and Vista)
b.. MSN Messenger 7.0.0820 (for Windows 2000 and Windows 98, SE,
ME)
c.. Windows Messenger - all versions (XP only)
d.. MSN Messenger 5.0 for Windows 95.
e.. Microsoft Messenger for Macintosh (all versions)
and ... Windows Live Messenger 8.5 which many of you are using in
beta form.
The third phase of the upgrades will focus on a small number of
remaining clients that exhibit the webcam vulnerability. We're still working
out the time line for this third phase, and we will keep you posted about when
you can expect to see that upgrade roll out.
Again, please continue to send us your feedback.
Rick
