PC、Mac、Xbox 上的 MSN Messenger 準備邁入第 9 版了



MSN= Microsoft Network

現在名稱已經改為

WLM = Windows Live Messenger 9

也就是說以往 MSN 的唸法已經成為歷史了

現在正確的的名稱是 WLM 囉！( 還是 MSN 唸起來比較順 )


今晚看到一篇文章，內容裡主要是說 WLM 9 將會使用新的設計

似乎是 Jabber !?

希望到時候能一套通訊軟體吃夠夠、能夠與 AIM / GTalk / ICQ 這些不同的 IM 系統都能互相通訊

Mac 的 User 們注意了，既然要使用新的架構，微軟宣佈不再更新 Mac 上的 MSN Messenger

而 XBox Live! 上的 MSN Messenger 7 屆時也會一次換成 8.5 或 9 的版本，換句話說到時所有的 MSN client 都必須要 follow 新的架構。


文章中其中一段還蠻有意思的

One feature of the API he demonstrated was he created a Vista Sidebar gadget that showed a single contact and their status. Double clicking on it opened up a chat, dragging text, images, or files to the gadget automatically started a file transfer or sent the text. Another use was for servers “talking” to administrators, and he showed how he could have a server linked with the API that would alert the admin through WLM by text whenever the HDD space was low and he could get that forwarded to his cell phone. and he also showed a user-created app that would show exactly where all of your friends were in the world using some of the abilities of the API and the information provided by your contacts. Also, he showed how he could recreate the entire WLMessenger program (with his horrible UI that he joked about) in only a little over 400 lines of code, with full chat/nudge/file transfer support between it and the real version of WLM.

哈，最後一段中說到新版的WLM核心功能只有 400 多行的執行碼！

Windows Live! Messenger 9 預計會在 2008 年底到 2009 年初釋出正式版

但到 2008 年底還是段蠻長的時間，這段時間裡可能還是會出現重大的變更！
