Microsoft Message Queuing or MSMQ is a technology developed by Microsoft and deployed in its Windows Server operating systems since Windows NT 4 and Windows 95. MSMQ is essentially a messaging protocol that allows applications running on disparate servers to communicate in a failsafe manner.
MSMQ has been available to developers on Microsoft platforms since its first version, and has commonly been used in enterprise software built with Visual Studio, both in the pre-.NET incarnation (version 5 and 6), and in Visual Studio .NET. Microsoft will be incorporating MSMQ in its future messaging and RPC technology framework, Indigo, which is scheduled to ship in the Longhorn timeframe.
