Did the wolf enter the sheep-fold? ' Wanadoo Messager', ' LiveCom', ' Orange Link'... after five years of gropings and changes of mark as regards instantaneous transport, the France Telecom group finally decided to join the Microsoft group to propose "Orange Messenger by Windows Live" with the whole of its 135 million fixed and mobile customers."</i><br /><br />Orange customers have been missing out on IM for a while now, but thanks to an arrangement between France Telecom and Microsoft, that period had come to an end. Orange customers will be getting "Orange Messenger by Windows Live". Catchy name, eh? It will have a very familiar look to it, kind of like MSN Messenger. ;) The original article is in French, but you can read the English translation <a href="http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=fr_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mobinaute.com%2Fmobinaute%2Farticle.php%3Fid%3D20061018144419">here</a> thanks to BableFish.
