Do you often have a chat with your friends over the Internet with your habitual instant messenger such as MSN, AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ or IRC, etc However, do you know that you can do the same thing on your LAN in your office or home Yes, you can, as long as you have a LAN messenger! With a LAN messenger you can chat each other with your friends without an Internet connection as long as you and your friends or colleague on the same LAN. Following is a popular and excellent LAN chatting tool I will recommend to you. That is WinMessenger which was published by VyPRESS Research,LLC. Below is the detailed introduction of this LAN messenger. Want to know how powerful and useful it is Let's go now!

WinMessenger is an easy to use program that allows us to send and receive messages from computer to computer on a network in real-time without using dedicated servers. It works over any network protocol (TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, etc.). It is easy to deploy and it does not require computer knowledge or special configuration. WinMessenger will work on our existing network immediately after installation. It offers complete implementation of the SMB protocol. We can send a message to a Novell user, receive messages from Linux systems, send and receive messages to/from Windows NT servers and so on. WinMessengers internal architecture allows using it on Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server with Terminal Service enabled.

The key functions and advantages of WinMessenger include:

WinMessenger offers complete implementation of the SMB protocol, so with it we can do everything we can with WinPopup. For example, we can send a message to a Novell user, receive messages from Linux systems, send and receive messages to/from Windows NT servers and so on.

WinMessenger works exceptionally well under all existing implementations of Windows without any updates or upgrades required - from the original release of Windows 95 to the latest Windows XP. Moreover, it takes full advantage of the OS on which it is installed. For example, when we install it on Windows 98, WinMessenger has a flat toolbar. When we install it on Windows Me it also features balloon tray tips. And, in Windows XP it comes with completely new look that matching latest user interface design.

WinMessenger looks and acts exactly like Microsoft's standard WinPopup. There are no seldom-used features or confusing settings. It replaced only the annoying things about WinPopup (such as the taskbar button and it's non-resizable window), but stayed true to the useful functionality of the original. Simply put, it is WinPopup without the blemishes.

WinMessenger is a highly optimized, compact program. It requires less than 700 KB of hard disk space and under 600 KB of memory! Compare it with the voracious appetites of our competitor's programs. WinMessenger does not crowd the Windows taskbar - it work in the system tray near the clock.

WinMessenger features an emoticon drop-down list for us. We don't have to remember the keystroke - just click the emoticon we would like to send to a friend.

WinMessenger is 32-bit software. We may be unfamiliar with the internal architecture of Microsoft WinPopup. Curiously, the WinPopup program we find in 32-bit operating systems like Windows 95 and Windows 98 is only a 16-bit application! Basically, it's a Microsoft quickie design: Windows developers simply took WinPopup's code from Windows 3.1 (a 16-bit operating system), then plopped it into their 32-bit operating systems. Unlike WinPopup, WinMessenger is a true 32-bit application that takes every advantage of modern 32-bit software.

WinMessenger comes as a compliant Unicode application when installed in a Windows OS that supports Unicode (Windows NT/2000 or XP/2003). This means that there are no problems with mixed language texts and multi-byte characters. Additionally, WinMessenger will run seamlessly in these versions of Windows.

WinMessenger's internal architecture allows using it on Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 with Terminal Service enabled.

Finally, the price of WinMessenger is very cheap. Only $10.00 we can get a registered version with full functions and free update.
