Exclusive: MSN Messenger 6.0 Build 0250 Screenshots

Continuing our Exclusive coverage of MSN Messenger 6.0 we bring you new screenshots of every single new feature in MSN Messenger 6.0. We got our grubby hands on a copy and have had the chance to play around with it and get well acquainted with everything new.

Here's what we have found out:

XML Chat Logging

Individual chat backgrounds for each contact

Array of display pictures for "My Display Picture"

File sending improved

Availability of Virus scanning for recieved files

New file transfer interface

And even more emoticons!

All in all this MSN Messenger is a great improvement from MSN Messenger 5 and previous versions. The interface is clean and yet allows customization per contact, the audio/video capabilities and file sends are the best yet in any Messenger version I have used - allowing the user to not worry about XP's or even Windows Server 2003's inbuilt firewall. The only thing we were unable to test was the games side of this new Messenger, we recieve an error message when trying to start a game - obviously the servers aren't ready yet.

Although we're not sure on when MSN will launch their preview site for Messenger 6.0 we've taken every screenshot we thought was worth taking and now you can see exactly what MSN Messenger 6 will look like and function. Enjoy.
