Both Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger are free. The only difference is that Windows Messenger comes with Windows XP and is, if I understood correctly, meant also for business-based instant messaging, while MSN Messenger can be download by anyone, and it has more internet-based features such as games and hotmail integration (hotmail integration can be added to Windows Messenger by downloading a plugin from Microsoft). Both have file transfer capabilities, as did older versions of MSN Messenger, but I'm not sure about file sharing. I think that's a feature that was added to MSN Messenger 6
