MSN decides to jump into Net-calling future

Well now after Google Microsoft has also decided to come into Net-calling business. One of its demonstrations was given by Microsoft on the .Net 2005 launch ceremony. In Windows Live messaging service it is as easy to make a call to a friend as sending a text messaeg. It seemed to be a shot across the bow of companies like Skype and Vonage, which provides voice over IP.

The move comes as all the major portal and IM companies are moving more heavily into Internet calling. This move comes after the launch of Googles IM Google Talk, which focus on voice chatting. But Microsoft further added that it will be paid service even in its beta state.
