How to Use Away Messages With Windows Live Messenger
Window Live Messenger is an instant messaging software pre-installed on Windows operating systems. It is integrated with other Microsoft products like Microsoft Outlook. With Windows Live Messenger, a computer user can communicate with his friends and family and also send and receive video chats. However, it can be difficult to resist Windows Live Messenger while you are working on the computer or head-down in an important project. You can use the "My Status" feature to notify your contacts in your list and change your status to "Away."
