3. Introduction to MSMQ Message Queuing (MSMQ) technology enables applications running at different times to communicate across heterogeneous networks and systems that may be temporarily offline. Applications send messages to queues and read messages from queues. The following illustration shows how a queue can hold messages that are generated by multiple sending applications and read by multiple receiving applications.

4. Message Queuing Versions The specific versions of Message Queuing include: MSMQ 1.0—the Microsoft Message Queue Server 1.0 product that operates with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, and Microsoft Windows Me. MSMQ 2.0—the Message Queuing service included in Microsoft Windows 2000. MSMQ 3.0—the Message Queuing service included in Microsoft Windows XP Professional and the Windows Server 2003 family. MSMQ is also available with independent client functionality on computers running Windows CE 3.0. Introduction to MSMQ Message Queuing provides guaranteed message delivery, efficient routing, security, and priority-based messaging.
