Windows Live Messenger with VoIP

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the soon-everyone-will-be-doing-it dept.

V-man writes "Microsoft has just launched Windows Live Messenger with free PC-to-PC phone calls and PC-to-phone calling as a pay service provided by Verizon Web Calling. Of course, most people doing PC-to-PC and PC-to-phone calling are probably using Firefox...too bad the Launch Page isn't Mozilla friendly."

    Yeah, I think he misspelled "Skype."

    Not only that, but Firefox loads the page just fine. What an idiotic submission.
