Overview
MSNP15 is the protocol version introduced with Windows Live Messenger 8.1 on 8 September 2006. It is based on MSNP14 but uses a different authentication mechanism called RPS "Relying Party Suite". Where TWN "Tweener" authentication is used on protocol versions 14 and below, RPS authentication will be used on protocol versions 15 and above.
In addition to a new authentication mechanism, Microsoft is also planning on making more of the properties of the user roaming. That is, the user's display picture, and in the future personal status messages, will be the same wherever the user signs in.
Furthermore, support for user locations has been added to the Personal Status Message, although this feature was later removed from the Windows Live Messenger 8.1 client.
