New MSN Messenger

[fangpyre]

There is a new version of MSN Messenger for the Mac.
This one finally supports audio & video.
Maybe the next version will support simulation.
Then you wouldn't have to talk to your loved ones while you keep in touch.

After installing it and trying it out.
I couldn't find audio/video chat features.

It turns out:
"Sadly, this is only available for corporate accounts, so if you have a personal account you'll need to wait a little longer for that feature."

It also turns out that Messenger 7 requires Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007.
Better luck next time.

Better luck next time.

As is so often the case with Microsoft

And I like the simulation idea!

True.
I don't know why we keep our hopes up with a company that has made customer disappointment to be part of the corporate objective.

For now, stick to iChat.

A proof that the Macintosh market is super profitable to Microsoft!

yes, Microsoft will always find a way to disapoint us imortal people... they always think of money first and not the satisfactory of the customers, thats why they go for corpret. first... but i have been told and read somewhere on the web that msn 7 will be updated later on to alow us to use Video and Audio confrencing finaly...

and yes keep iChat a live by using it and spreading the word...

if anyone wants an extra Apple friend on the side on iChat add me please.. cause i do want my iChat list to grow and make use of it u all will find me on

Thanks fangpyre, never knew it was out. I think one good thing is this version is it lets you send messages even when you are on appear offline, that you could not do in the old version..
