As first reported in WinInfo Daily UPDATE, the version of Windows Messenger that ships in the box with Windows XP isn't a done deal, and Microsoft has numerous upgrades on tap for this component when XP ships on October 25. The upgrades, which Microsoft originally planned to release 2 weeks ago, will now ship October 25 through free download on Windows Update, alongside a slew of other updates to the OS. Microsoft says that it will update Messenger with Internet phone capabilities, .NET Alerts functionality, and other new features.
