More Microsoft reviews , RRP: TBA

The good:

  • Full-screen video chat
  • Shared Web searches
  • Easy to navigate

The bad:

  • Changes important Internet browser settings to MSN if you're not careful
  • Hogs valuable desktop space

The bottomline:

A fun and feature-packed IM applet, MSN Messenger 7.0 is a great upgrade for version 6.2 users, but we prefer the less intrusive Yahoo Messenger 6.0 and ICQ 4.1.

Users' rating:

8.9/10
