Microsoft has blocked the access to the Windows Live Messenger for users in Cuba, Syria, Iran, Sudan and North Korea. When you try to connect from these countries, you get the error 810003c1.

It is not known exactly why Microsoft decided to block the access. However it is only known that it is a form of embargo. The corporation announced that the exclusion of Messenger in several countries is caused by sanctions imposed by the U.S.

Yahoo has informed about giving up the development of a special version of its Communicator Yahoo Messenger for Windows Vista. The version was once very popular - one of the first applications that use the full capabilities of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) - a built-in platform for developers to handle the user interface, in order to obtain rich graphical effects. Yahoo! says that the priority is to provide equally good version of Communicator in any system. In practice, however, the most likely factor was the low popularity of Yahoo Messenger for Vista.
