With MSN Messenger you can chat online via text, voice or even video conversation - in real time - with your friends, family or colleagues.
It’s faster than e-mail, a great choice for conversations and the perfect alternative when you can’t be there in person.
What’s New in This Release:

The signin page:
- Totally new, you can save your email address only, save the email and the password, and you can also sign in automatically. Finally, these options are seperated!
- If you check "Remember Me", your display picture will be displayed instead of the MSN Messenger logo and your email will automatically be entered
The contact list:
-Not much to say besides the fact the "Add contact" button is placed elsewhere.
The conversation window:
- The option buttons were changed
- "Voice Clip" enables you to send a voice message for the time you want by holding the button and talking in your mic. You can also press and hold F2
New dynamic backgrounds (h):
- You may choose a new kind of background which is animated like the winks. The animation is more pleasant, the text color matches it so you can still see it clearly and it’s not just annoying.
- There is also the option to share the dynamic backgrounds, as soon as you set one, if your "Share background" option is checked (in the "more" menu) then the background is sent as a file to the person you’re talking with.

The guys at microsoft have made a “oopsie!” with the new features in v7.

According to neowin.net “Currently it’s easy for hackers to exploit the code of winks to display any flash movies on a users computer for any amount of time……Anyone running MSN Messenger V7.0 build 0205 needs to downgrade. If you do not downgrade, you will be unable to sign into the Messenger service. We’re unsure whether this will effect other builds”If you want to continue using it, download the CVR patch here:
