Kirb’s Musings

Kirby Witmer’s ponderings, ruminations, and meditations of… anything.

Microsoft has announced that Windows Live Messenger has been taken out of Beta. And guess what? It’s got a lot of neat features. Makes me wonder why it takes Google soo long to take products out of beta.

Some Windows Live Messenger Features:

• PC-to-PC Calling
• Telephone calling, too
• Even better video conversations
• Sharing Folders
• Text message their phones
• Your two-way, super-powered address book
• Windows Liveâ„¢ Alerts
• Soon: Talk to your Yahoo! friends, too

Ahhh… Talk to Yahoo! Friends. Soon.

Earlier today I noticed on ideas.live.com that Microsoft had added the following page. Windows Live Messenger - talk to Yahoo! contacts. Yippee!! I tried it, but couldn’t seem to make it work, and now I’m noticing tonight they’ve pulled the page!! What’s up with that??

 Here is some screenshots of the page:
