MSN Messenger Gets Enhanced Audio

Microsoft announced Tuesday a partnership with Level 3 Communications to enhance audio conversations within MSN Messenger 7, which launched last month. The feature uses voice over IP technology that traverses Level 3's network and works even if users are behind the Windows Firewall that is enabled by default in Windows XP SP2.

"We're pleased to expand our relationship with Level 3. This new technology significantly improves connectivity helping to navigate firewalls and enabling a more seamless experience for our customers," Phil Holden, director of MSN communication services. MSN Messenger 7 also adds video communication using technology developed by Logitech.
