MSN Messenger is for instant messaging with online friends and contacts etc.
Windows Messenger is a completely different animal and an is administration applet meant for sending messages around a local network but is open to misuse by hackers, i.e. the Blaster worm which shuts down your PC randomly.
You can safely disable Windows Messenger in the services menu.
