Microsoft Messenger 6.0 for Mac coming later this year

Some news from the Mac side of things. This snippet is from the MacWorld News pages:

Microsoft Messenger for Mac 6.0, a new version of Microsoft’s instant messaging application, is coming “later this year,” according to the company. It will include features such as federation with Yahoo! Messenger, customized emoticons and spell check. Users will also be able to display personal messages or what song’s playing in iTunes.

As it looks, we will - again - have to wait for video and voice support.

    I’ve switched to yahoo messenger, msn buddies can talk to me, plus I have voice, video and nudges with yahoo now - i’ve given up on mac messenger, due to microsoft’s lackuster support for their mac software.

    WE NEED iSight compatibility on MSN MICROSOFT!!! It seems as if they are leaving it for last, or do not want to invest in h.264 technology?

    I think they will do it when Apple owns 49% of marketshare (No doubt this could happen in the next 2-5 years!)

    Lo que tiene que hacer la división de Mac en Microsoft es lanzar aunque sea una versión beta rápidamente para ir encontrando bugs y reportarlos

    La eterna lucha de los MSN, utilizo muy bien el aMSN y/o Mercury, no tenemos nada a envidiar con los productos MS, como siempre los usuarios se ven perjudicados por el juego de Poder entre companias.

    If you need a good messenger software for mac, with video, use aMSN or Mercury messenger, both are great soft.

    The reason for delaying video in Messenger for Mac is that the system how Messenger transfers video will change, both for Mac Messenger and Windows Live Messenger. You can read it all here:

    theres a msn for mac called “amsn”
    on this msn you can hav video conferences but with no sound
    it really done my job
    so i advise you to get it until this microsoft one comes out
    (coz it might take long)

    MAC says that us better than Windows and maybe they are right
    but Messenger with Windows definably is best than with MAC
    MAC sucks with Messenger

    You have to do a better one
