What's the difference from version 4.7 to 5.0? Can't find release notes

[DougB]

I just upgraded at work to 5.0, but I couldn't find what the changes
were. Are there release notes or a version history posted anywhere?

Thanks,
DougB

Greetings Doug,

Some of the new features include built-in access to Exchange IM services (it was separate
release before), access for the Office Live Communications Server (based on SIP), more
support for corporate features on the Office Live Communications Server (banners, custom
options in the Help menu, custom tabs, etc.), TabletPC "digital ink" support (compatible with
MSN Messenger 6), and UPnP file transfer. Some features that are now removed from Windows
Messenger 5 include MSN Hotmail support, MSN Mobile support, and the .NET Voice Services
(PC2Phone) support.
