Having fun with MSN: Talk to a person using multiple windows at once

Posted by multippt

Well, Microsoft certainly left some micro loop-holes in its relatively popular Windows Live Messenger. Exclusive to MSN 7 and above, this “glitch” allows you to chat to one user using multiple windows. Simply for fun, and has little practical use.

MSN-Multiple conversations for one (sorry, no thumbnail… yet)

Note: The image isn’t photoshopped. I’m a web developer. What else can I use photoshop for? ;)

The steps are simple:
1) Open a normal conversation window with a user
2) Open a group conversation window with another user, and with the user you want to use the glitch on
3) Ask the other user to leave, leaving you and the user you want to leave the glitch on
4) The target user now has 2 windows and can chat with you using either
5) Repeat this to get more windows. :)
*If you try to chat with the other person, your conversations may end up in any one of the Windows.

This glitch may have arisen because of the group conversation feature. This is especially for MSN 8, where by the group conversation is reduced to a normal conversation if there are only 2 people left.
