The official version of MSN Messenger 7.0 released by Microsoft and the Chinese version for China users have also been launched. From now on, domestic users can download the new version of the software through MSN Chinese website (/), or accept Microsoft's "online reminder" in the next few days, and click the relevant link to update the software.
According to reports, the official Chinese version of MSN Messenger 7.0 fully inherits the entertainment, personalization, convenience and other application features of the "beta version" released at the end of last year, and also expands the user's instant messaging experience, strengthens the support for MSN Spaces ("My * * * Space") service, and upgrades the music and photo functions.
"Show your personality and show yourself" is still the unique highlight of the official Chinese version of MSN Messenger 7.0. For people who like to change their names frequently, the official Chinese version of MSN Messenger 7.0 divides the user's "display name" into two parts: "name" and "personal message". The former is used to show one's true identity, while the latter is used to show off one's inspiration. In this way, users of the new version of MSN Messenger don't have to worry about not being recognized by their friends, and they can also display their personal ideas at will. This fully embodies the ingenuity and care of software designers "for the sake of users".
Music-loving users can now communicate their music tastes with friends on the Internet at any time through MSN Messenger-as long as users play songs with Windows Media Player, the names of songs can always appear in the "Personal Messages" box no matter where you are.
The function of "flirting animation" first appeared in the beta version of MSN Messenger7.0 has been further enhanced. The official version of MSN Messenger 7.0 has updated the types of "flirting animations", added some animations that can show the user's status (such as "Please wait" and "I'm so sleepy"), and specially prepared some "flirting animations" with ethnic characteristics for China users (such as "Congratulations on making a fortune").
What is worth mentioning is the enhanced MSN Spaces ("My Space") service. It is understood that since the beta version of MSN Spaces was launched at the end of 2004, it has attracted more than one million users to "apply" for personal space. Within a few months, MSN Spaces has become one of the fastest growing blog services in the world. In terms of functions, users of MSN Spaces can publish personal blogs, photo albums, personal music lists and so on. And show your charm in an avant-garde and diversified way. The official Chinese version of MSN Messenger 7.0 has strengthened the integration with MSN Spaces-users can directly enter "My * * * Enjoy Space" from the main window; It also adds the function of "update notification"-whenever a user posts a new article, photo or music, MSN Messenger will put his personal icon in the contact list in a "twinkling star" state, so that family and friends can know that the user has something new to share with you for the first time; The space capacity has also increased from the original 10M to the current 30M. This means that users can share about 750 photos in their personal space. In addition, the new version of MSN Spaces has added 50 themes, allowing users to customize their own * * * enjoyment space more freely.
Two: MSN Messenger introductory application skills
1: Dialogue
MSNMessenger is not only an instant messaging tool, but also a voice call. Here's how to realize voice conversation.
Step 1: Select a contact.
Open the main interface window, click the contact name with the right mouse button, and select the "Start Voice Dialogue" command in the shortcut menu that opens.
Note: If your computer and another computer have already set up a microphone and a sound card, you can "talk" through the network. If not, a wizard dialog box will automatically open, prompting you to set up your sound card and microphone.
Step 2: Start a dialogue.
At this time, the instant messaging window will open, click the "Start Call" button, and after waiting for the other party's response, Netmeeting will automatically start running on your computer and the invitee's computer. At this time, there will be an additional speaker and microphone adjustment slider in the instant messaging window (as shown below), and there is also an "audio adjustment wizard" function in the "Tools" column of the main window, which can help you set up the functions of voice and telephone conversation.
Use MSN face text
Chatting online is inseparable from writing. We will notice that after entering a ":)" symbol, a smiling face icon will appear in the MSN window, or a bunch of small roses will suddenly be received, so how to turn on the icon function?
Execute Command Tools → Options on the main interface, open the Options dialog box, and switch to the Personal Information tab (as shown below). If you plan to use the icon function on MSN, you need to select the option of "Show graphics (facial words) in instant messages", so that when we return to the chat information window again, we can input the representative symbols of facial words again and see smiling faces and bouquets.
Set the contact list for sending and receiving information.
Execute the "Tools → Options" command in the main menu, open the options dialog window, then click the "Confidentiality" tab (as shown below), and then click the "Allow" button to add a list, where you can see the messages you sent. Click the Block button to add a list of people whose messages cannot be viewed.
Clear the "Please notify me when other users add me to their contact list" check box, so that others can add you as a contact without permission, and the person who adds you will be automatically placed in your allowed list and added to your contact list.
To delete a contact list, right-click the name of the person you want to delete, and then click Delete Contact.
Send page
First, select a contact in the contact list. If your contact person has already set the mobile device information, you can execute the command of "Operation → Send Message to Mobile Device", then click the number of available phone in the item of "Dial Back Number", then enter the message content, and finally click "Send". The email will be sent to the contact's mobile device, which also includes your email address and phone number.
If you want to allow contacts to send messages to your mobile device, you can execute the Options command under the Tools menu. On the Phone tab, click and select the Allow people in my contact list to send messages to my mobile device check box.
Set the text size for reading.
In the view menu of the instant messaging window, move the mouse to the text size, and then click the desired size (as shown below). All the text in the instant message window will be displayed according to the specified size, but the color and font of the received text depend on the sender.
I can see you, but you can't see me.
Click your name at the top of the main window, and then click "Show Offline", so that other users will see that you are offline at this time (as shown below), and they can't communicate with you. In fact, you can log in to check which contacts in the list are online, but it should be noted that although you can see the online status of contacts, you still can't send them instant messages, make phone calls and voice conversations, or page them.
Intelligence enters a state of detachment.
Click Options under the Tools menu. On the Preferences tab, under General, type a value in the item "Show me as away if I am inactive for n minutes". If the "Show me I'm not in" item is grayed out, you can change this interval by changing the waiting time of the screen saver in the Windows Display Properties dialog box.
2. Let MSN Mobile realize the message function for MSN Messenger.
We know that it is impossible to send an instant message to a friend on MSN Messenger if he is not online. However, we can use MSN mobile service to realize the disguised message function, and the specific steps are as follows:
Step 1: Establish an account.
Open the Options → Phone tab from the Tools menu, as shown. Although you can set the user's country/region and mobile phone information here, the "Allow people in my contact name to send messages to my mobile device" check box at the bottom of the window is grayed out because the MSN Mobile service has not been activated.
The options dialog box above.
Click the "mobile phone settings" button, you will automatically log in to the MSN mobile website (mobile.msn.com), and then click "Join now!" In the window. Button, and then select Other in the Wireless Service Provider drop-down list box, and then enter an email address in the Type your mobile phone address box. It is recommended to use Hotmail or MSN email to get timely notification of the arrival of new mail.
Step 2: Fill in the confirmation code.
Soon, we can log in to the email address just entered and receive the confirmation email from ert@mobile.msn.com. It usually takes about 5 minutes. If the network conditions are good, it may only take 1 minute. There is only one sentence in the email: your MSN mobile phone confirmation code is * * * *.
Enter a four-digit confirmation code in the "Confirmation Code" box, and the registration will be successful after 30 seconds. Next, some information about the use of MSN Mobile will be displayed, so don't worry.
Step 3: Activate the phone settings.
Log out of MSN Messenger, log in again, and open the Options → Phone tab again. At this point, you can see that the "Allow people in my contact name to send messages to my mobile device" check box is available.
The "Phone Settings" button will automatically open the mobile.msn.com/signup/messengerok.aspx page, and we just need to click the "Finish" button; Please log in again after logging out of MSN Messenger. At this point, the system will pop up a dialog box as shown in the figure below, asking if you agree with the contact to send instant messages to your mobile device. Choose "Yes" of course.
Step 4: Send offline information.
When you log out of MSN Messenger, you will be offline. At this point, your MSN friends will see your name differently in the list. Your name will be followed by a mobile phone icon and the word "mobile".
In the future, even if you are offline, friends can send you messages. After double-clicking, the window shown below will pop up. Of course, the message sent here will not be displayed on the mobile device, but will be sent to the mailbox filled in when registering MSN mobile service, and then you can get the important information sent by your friends in time by checking the email.
But it's a pity that you can't send Chinese messages, otherwise the email you receive will show one question mark after another. If the contact name uses Chinese characters, there is nothing you can do. Who asked Microsoft to take "special safeguard" measures against China? Ha ha. I hope Microsoft can launch related services supporting Chinese as soon as possible.

Send an instant message to other friends outside the contact list: First, click the "Send instant message" option under "I want to" in the main window of MSN Messenger, then click the "Other" button, type the full email address of the contact here, and finally click the "OK" button. Note: Contacts who send instant messages must have Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger installed.
Configure the network for instant messaging and file transfer: If MSN Messenger cannot directly connect to the Internet from a computer or network behind a firewall or NAT, it will try to connect using the same connection settings as the default Internet browser. If MSN Messenger connects in this way, its function is limited to sending instant messages and seeing which contacts are online. In order to get the best performance and complete functions, including using MSN Messenger to transfer files, we recommend trying to configure your proxy server to allow your network or computer to directly connect to the MSN Messenger server. In the main Messenger window, click the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Connections tab. Correctly configure the information and description of the Connection tab of its MSN Messenger program. Open the outgoing TCP connection to port 1863 and the TCP port between 689 1 and 6900 on the proxy server.
The following are tips for using MSN Messenger shortcut keys:
Move to another area tab in the Messenger window, activate the selected item or open the selected link Enter, select the file menu F 10, open the file menu down arrow, move the right arrow and left arrow between menus, and open the context-sensitive menu (similar to right-clicking with the mouse) Shift+F 10. Move the up key up in the list, move the down key down in the list, move to the home page of the first item in the list, move to the end of the last item in the list, open a dialogue window, enter the selected name, start a new line in the message without sending the message Shift+Enter or Ctrl+Enter, select the next label Ctrl+Tab, and select the previous label Ctrl+Shift+Tab.
Three: How to beautify our MSN Messenger
First, the beauty of craftsmanship.
1. Replace logo and background picture.
There are three GIF files in the default installation directory of MSN Messenger, C:Program FilesMessenger, where lvback.gif is the background picture of MSN Messenger, logo.gif is the picture at the bottom of the main window, and logowin.gif is the picture in the About dialog window under the help menu. We just need to change them into our favorite images one by one.
2. Change the sound of MSN Messenger
There are four sound files in the directory: newemail.wav is the sound of prompting new mail after logging in, newalert.wav is the warning sound, online.wav is the sound of friends online, and type.wav is the sound of prompting friends to send messages. You can also change them into your favorite sounds one by one.
3. Personalized signature with graphic symbols

Net Messenger SERVICE "in the personal information command, enter your name and expression, then select the item" Display graphics in instant messaging "and press" OK "to return.

Start the image processing software (such as Photoshop), create a new file with a width of 249 pixels, a height of 369 pixels and a resolution of 96 pixels/inch, and then enter the editing process. You can draw your own content or insert other images. In the process of processing, it should be noted that in order to make the background picture better integrated with MSN, the background color of the picture should be white; If the inserted background is a landscape picture of other colors, it is good to feather its edge; If the color of the image is strong, some appropriate adjustments should be made to make the image look elegant, so that it is easy to see the text information in MSN when it is set as MSN background painting. After the production is completed, name the picture "lvback". GIF "(without double quotation marks) and save it as a gif file.
Step 2: Set the MSN background.
Enter the directory where MSN is installed (the default directory is "C: \ program files \ MSN Messenger") and set the front system.
Copy the "lvback.gif" file into this directory, and then we can restart MSN login. At this time, have you found that the background picture of your MSN window has changed? This setting method is valid for all versions of Msn Messenger. Four: Little-known secrets in MSN

Five: the competition of MSN Messenger in the market
What users want to do can generate profits, and Microsoft will do it. With what? With Microsoft's terrible number of users and equally terrible financial and even technical strength! See what MSN Messenger has now-text/voice/video chat, making friends, e-mail, comprehensive entertainment portal, online community bbs, search, file sharing, remote assistance, enterprise yellow pages, individual merchants, resource navigation, and various value-added services provided by various third-party service providers! With MSN Messenger, you don't need any other Internet tools at all!
From this point of view, MSN Messenger seems to have become an indestructible "Big Mac", but other communication software has taken turns to attack, which has far-reaching significance and also illustrates two problems: First, the most fundamental reason why Microsoft has always taken the lead is its huge number of users accumulated over the years. And often the strongest place is also the most deadly place; Secondly, all kinds of unprepared "challenges" of rivals will invisibly "wake up" Microsoft and urge it to optimize its products quickly. Objectively speaking, the attack direction of other communication software is correct, that is, using leading technology to rapidly erode Microsoft's user base. The mistake of other communication software is that its technical advantage is only a differentiation advantage, not a breakthrough advantage, and it is not monopolistic, so it is far from enough to really seize the user market of MSN Messenger. Their attack undoubtedly points out the direction for future competition. We hope to see MSN Messenger further improve its functions and start the next counterattack. We also expect other domestic competitors to launch a new "charge" to MSN Messenger after full preparation, so as to make the "Kung Fu" drama of this communication software more exciting and beautiful!
