ANN: Download the MSN Messenger update for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs by Oct. 15

Dear Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC Customer:

As you may know, Microsoft recently announced an update to the .NET
Messenger Service, requiring that only updated clients access the
Service to help ensure that our customers have the latest security
and privacy protections. As part of this update, older .NET
Messenger Service clients, including all Windows Mobile-based
devices, are required to upgrade their MSN Messenger
Service clients.

We are writing to inform you that the MSN Messenger update for
Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs is now available. Please
download and install this update prior to October 15, 2003 in
order to prevent any service interruptions.

After October 15, customers who have not installed the updated
client will no longer be able to access the .NET Messenger Service
from their Windows Mobile-based device. Customers will still be able
to download the update after October 15, but will not have access to
the Service until the download has been completed.

Please visit our web site for additional information and updates.
