Windows Chat (not to be confused with
Start Menu in newer versions of Windows; it must instead be run by using Start > Run... > WinChat.exe.[1]
Windows Chat utilizes a split screen user interface similar to UNIX
real time text, with typing being transmitted immediately.[2]
Microsoft removed the application from Windows versions from Vista on, with the removal of
NetDDE,[3]
though the program and the DDE service it needs may be manually installed. However the application can still be used through programs such as virtual machines if earlier versions of Windows are installed on them.
