MSN messenger 7.5 - can you hear me?

So I've downloaded the latest version of MSN messenger 7.5  - full version not a beta (betta), and I want to play with some of the new features.  There's the opportunity to talk by using Voice Clip.  These allow you to record your voice over IM and send it using the massenger interface to your buddy.  Who can then open it up and play it.  And then record their own voices and send to you.

So you can sort of chat in near real time - with a bit of a delay.  It seems to be like the long distance calls of old - that sounded a bit like simplex transmissions, and I'd be tempted to end each transmission with "Over!" 

But here's my problem.  None of my buddies have upgraded yet - so I can't chat to anyone.  I'm talking from one messenger acount to another (which is Boring) So why don't you upgrade to 7.5?  and talk to me.....

Adam,
It's about time you did a job of educating them to move to the later version (with the URL blocking option - less worms/trojans transmitted by IM) and lots of extra features for the consumer.
Of course if this is for a corporate environment then everyone should be using LCS 2005 and Office Communicator, VOIP etc...

Eileen,

No problem with spanish classes, that way I can practice my English too ;-)

Oh, really nice article BTW.

PS. I love your Exchange related articles, and have been reading them for a while.

Saludos.
