Speaking as someone who is not really much of an MSN fan, I must admit that it does make a great video client. Now, with the announcement of its newest version of MSN Messenger getting ready to go, I will be interested to see what the users of the world think of the enhancements and if they feel the improvements are noticeable or not.

The next version of Microsoft Corp.’s MSN Messenger will offer improved video chat capabilities developed by Microsoft and Logitech Inc., the companies said Wednesday.

In MSN Messenger 7.0, due out in the coming months, users will be able to start a video chat with synchronized audio with a single mouse click, Microsoft and Logitech announced at the Cebit trade show in Hanover, Germany.

Microsoft and Logitech have collaborated on video chat in MSN Messenger for the past two years, and the companies have extended that relationship for MSN Messenger 7.0, they said.

The current version of MSN Messenger offers separate functions for audio and video chat, according to a spokeswoman for Microsoft. Audio is available, though the audio may not match the video. This is solved in the new version, which also promises improved video quality, a spokesman from Logitech said.
