Well, there is a way to have MSN Messenger aswell as Windows Live Messenger
together!
You can just unistall WLMessenger, and then, download MSN Messenger,
http://messenger.msn.com and then go to your hard drive, the one with XP on
it, then go to Program Files, and edit the MSN Messenger folder to lets say,
MSN Messenger 7.5, and then go to
http://a-patch.tk and download A-Patch and
apply the Polygamy! Then you can install WLMessenger! So you and the people
with invites can go on WLM, and the people without invites can go on MSN
Messenger 7.5!
But if they want WLM aswell, theres plenty of places to find them!
Happy Testing!
