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.
Que bien que ya mac tenga una nueva version de msn ya que la version 5 es muy mala y no tiene suficientes cosas que lo animen a uno estar conectado por msn desde mac faltan muchas aplicaciones ojala las incluyan en la nueva version
Translations please???
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
English plaese…. What’s this about a beta version?
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.
HEY MAC USERS!!!

with amsn can you use your exsisting msn contacts and your exsisting msn sign in name?
Yes, you can. aMSN works just like any other MSN client.
MSN messanger 6.0 for MAC is so boring no vedio, no audio support i am surperised they have all possible tecknlology in hand why they do not makd this MSN messager better than the one which is used in PC computers
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:

MAC says that us better than Windows and maybe they are right

MAC sucks with Messenger
You have to do a better one
