Vista + Live Messenger = Missing functions

It seams that in Vista Application sharing and whiteboard have been removed
from messenger. Why is this? Has Microsoft ever listed reasons why they
removed these options? Any plans for bringing them back? When?

Greetings Nima,

They were components of Netmeeting. Netmeeting got the axe quite a few years ago and these
components along with it.

Microsoft SharedView (currently in beta) picks up from the slack of this and gives you this
functionality back. Additionally, it even integrates with Messenger:
