People in this thread don't remember the NET SEND spam from Windows Messenger. (Which was a system service and had absolutely nothing to do with MSN Messenger)

You could basically do "NET SEND 12.34.56.78 my spam message" and it would appear on the screen of your victim.

Actually I liked that feature. We used to chat with each other using it when I was in school. It was definitely a right choice for Microsoft to disable the Messenger service, but I was a bit sad when it actually happened.

You can still do that using msg.exe
