Greetings Don,

If you're planning on removing it using the built-in functionality in Add or Remove Programs
then everything will be fine (since it doesn't actually remove the files).

If you're planning on forcibly removing it, then yes, MSN Messenger will continue to work
fine but Remote Assistance, Whiteboard and Application Sharing within MSN Messenger will
prompt you to install Windows Messenger again before they'll work.
