What works
Basic IM, 2-way mobile messaging.
Note: sometimes you need to click the conversation window on the taskbar twice since the window loses focus.
What does not
VoIP, though Microsoft may have discontinued it.
File transfer fails.
This is an old version. Useless.
Workarounds
What was not tested
