Just curious if a new version will coming down the road with Vista. I
imagine they will probably do away with it and make Windows Live the new
MSN.

Thanks!

As in MSN Explorer? Nah there isn't and won't be one.
Also because Windows Live is still generally in beta, they won't have beta
within a beta. There is a chance some features might be included, but as
Windows Live is prodominately web based services, it might not be. Also
there's a lot of anti-trust stuff involved so the EU will probably jump on
Microsoft's back about that...

I think he might mean messenger, in which case, no, Vista will not be
coming with an inbuilt IM client. You will have to download Live
Messenger (and Windows messenger if you want remote assistance,
whiteboard, etc) seperately.

Neither MSN Explorer or any Microsoft Instant Messaging software will be
bundled with Windows Vista.

If you are looking for corporate messaging, I think Microsoft would suggest
Office Communicator.
