Yahoo! + MSN Messenger marriage with each other!

**Eros** · July 14th, 2006, 02:04 AM

MSN & Yahoo! has started rolling out the much discussed and anticipated MSN & Yahoo! Interoperability! This means that you can now chat to all your Yahoo! buddies using MSN Messenger (now known as Windows Live Messenger) and vise versa. Through the interoperability Microsoft and Yahoo! have increased their market share in instant messaging to an estimated (combined) 350+ million users.

I just tested it & I can assure you that the support is nearly flawless. Extras such as emoticons, and even Personal Messages are supported by both clients and there is no noticeable delay when sending messages between MSN Messenger (now known as Windows Live Messenger) and Yahoo! Messenger users. The only thing that does not seem to work perfectly yet are Sharing Folders.

Here is my testing screenshots...

Its still in beta stage, so you need to signup for the beta testing...
