Windows Messenger

The Windows Messenger feature for Microsoft® Windows® CE provides a client application that combines real–time voice and text communications with file transfer capability. Windows Messenger is presence–enabled. This means that you can see who is available online before you try to contact them and you can control your online status that others see. Using Windows Messenger you can also initiate remote assistance, multiplayer games, and other applications.

The Windows Messenger client leverages the Communications Service service-provider, the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) stack, the Real-Time Protocol (RTP) stack, and the MSN® Messenger protocol stack.
