Greetings Ian,

It depends on the version you're using.

Windows Messenger 4.7 operates on the .NET Messenger network exclusively.
Windows Messenger 5.x operates on the .NET Messenger network or a local Exchange or SIP-based
Communications Service.

Windows Live Messenger 8.x (http://get.live.com/WL/all), operates on the .NET Messenger
network and also can interoperate with Yahoo Messenger contacts. In other words, you can add
Yahoo contacts directly to your contact list and talk to them from Windows Live Messenger.
