Windows Live Messenger for iPhone Shows Promise But Has a Ways To Go

Windows Live Messenger for iPhone | 40Tech

If you are a dedicated Windows Live Messenger user and own an iPhone, you may want to take a gander at the official, recently released (and free) iPhone app for the longstanding IM service.
