Windows Live Messenger is a great way to stay in touch with your friends. Share photos while you chat. Talk in real time with video chat. Even see the social network updates your friends have shared.
High-definition (HD) video chat
"Meaningful conversations are enhanced by allowing you to see and hear your friends.

You can manage all your chats in one location so you can juggle multiple conversations in one place rather than having multiple windows popping up.
