MSN Messenger 6.2 Released
April 27th, 2004 Posted in Software
MSN Messenger 6.2 (build 0133) has been made available again on the official homepage. Since this is the same build as released last Thursday, there’s still no sign of animated avatars dubbed Deluxe Display Pictures in the help files discovered in early March. These are probably delayed until the service (which I guess will be subscription-based) is completely secure & operational. Here’s a quick rundown on the changes compared to 6.1:
- Autoreplacement of emoticon shortcuts before sending
- Contact list icon for mobile buddies & group mobile contacts together
- New name (and icon) for the Launch Site: Fun & Games
- Four new subscription-based fun & games available to U.S. users only for $4 or $5 per month
- Integrated connection troubleshooter
- MSN Toolbar & MSN Search installation upon setup (uncheck to avoid)
