On XP, I used to communicate through my network for fun via netsend. 

I've googled, and apparently msg.exe replaced it in vista?

What about Win7?

Hi Shankopotamus,

Welcome to Microsoft Windows 7 Forums.

Windows 7 does not support msg.exe and net send commands to send messages over network.

Hope this information is helpful.

    I heard that some versions of Win7 do have msg.exe.  Can anyone confirm this?

    The only way is to use a third-party software, for example:
