No it doesn't, MSN Messenger 7.0 is 9x/2000/XP, MSN Messenger 7.5 is
2000/XP, and Windows Live Messenger 8.0 is XP/Vista.

It has already been tried by a few developers I know and it's not possible
because of the new features.

Greetings,

If she's using Windows Millennium Edition than 7.0 is the latest version of the client and it
should be allowing her to sign in without any problem. If she clicks the Help menu, then
About, what version (including build number) is she using? The latest version of 7.0 is
7.0.0816 and should allow her to sign in without any message indicating any upgrade.
