I would like to send some messages to my friend who is in the same network as mine, but I do not want him to confirm any password or registration. Just a pop up windows appears on his screen. Any suggestion, please? Windows Vista is my OS, however If you could provide the tips which could pass across OS Plateform like Linux to Windows, or Windows to Linux would be so great. Thanks you so much.

The only built-in tool I know for Windows is the "NET SEND" command.

If you want something to do this cross-platform, take a look at the Jabber/XMPP protocol. This should point you to implementations of this protocol that might meet your needs. Unix systems have an old protocol named talk to do this, but windows does not support it out of the box. There is a very old windows-specific command that can be manipulated to pop up a message box on a remote machine (but you typically won't have sufficient permissions), but for the life of me, I can't remember what it is at the moment.
