No Yahoo! Messenger integration for first Windows Live Messenger release


Posted by the andyman on 17 Jun 2006 (2060 views)
Over at LiveSide, Chris has reported that when Windows Live Messenger goes final (at the beginning of next week?) the first non-beta version will not contain interpolarity with Yahoo! Messenger.

It seems as though Windows Live Messenger users and Yahoo users will not be able to talk to one another immediately when WL Messenger goes final next week. Unfortunately this feature will still be carrying the "coming soon" branding so familiar with online services and products, despite having been in internal beta for a while now. While this may bring disappointment for some users, it will hopefully be the start of something bigger.

Enjoy this World Cup weekend, but make sure you return here at the beginning of next week!

Does Chris know something we don't when he says "make sure you return here at the beginning of next week" with an exclamation mark. He also seems confident that Windows Live Messenger will go "final next week". Maybe my two previous predictions, the first one of June and the second of the 20th June, are correct?

I see a good side, the feature will hopefully be alot better than what I said it would be before. But 18 months of work is alot, you think it would not be such a long process.
