"net send" is a command using a background service called "messenger". This service has been removed from Windows 7. ie You cannot use 'net send' on Vista nor Win7 / Win8.

Pity though , I loved using it.

There is alternatives, but that requires you to download and install software on each pc you want to use, this software runs as background services, and i would advise one to be very very very very careful of using these kind of software as they can potentially cause seriously damage one's system or impair the systems securities.
