MSN Messenger 6, which includes ramped-up multimedia features, will be available for download on Wednesday in its first public beta version
Microsoft is asking people to try to shoot the latest MSN Messenger.
A public beta, or test version, of the upcoming instant messaging software -- MSN Messenger version 6 -- will be available for download at the company's Web site on Wednesday, the software maker said.
Up to now, MSN Messenger 6 has been available only to private beta testers. Despite its limited release, downloads reached 2 million as of last week, according to a Microsoft memo.
The new software is designed to let people use multimedia features -- such as Web cam shots, digital photos and smiley face icons -- to personalize their chat windows. MSN Messenger users can also play interactive games with other members and choose from a list of wallpaper designs to change the appearance of the tool.
The MSN Messenger 6 software will be available from 11 a.m. PST (7 p.m. BST) on Wednesday, according to Microsoft.
