    What a joke... feature wise this is a disaster.

    C'mon... Microsoft, one of the biggest if not the biggest corporation in the world... and they can't even get their cousin Messenger client right!

    I bet it's a tactic to get ppl to go bak to Windows...
    Most ppl use Mac simply to keep away from Widows. So I don't see it being all that effective.
    They'll just use another Mac client.

    Messenger on the Mac is about as useful as Safari on the PC....What a joke, this is as bad as yahoo's mac offering. Adium is all you really have until it becomes easier to use Pidgin on a mac, but I personally dislike Adium for many reasons.

    Jabber anyone? You can always just use gmail chat to talk to your contacts through transports if you don't want to use a client (though this will temporarily require psi or an equivalent to add the transport to your gmail/jabber account)

    Installed it. Feature-wise there isn’t much new features added compare to its Windows counterpart. And the download/upload transfer speed is still disastrous again compared to its Windows cousin.

    While this one apparently has audio and video included, they seem to be restricted to corporate accounts. It's better than it was, but it's definitely not a good solution, still.

    I'll continue to use Mercury Messenger for video, although the latest Yahoo! Messenger beta (5 distinct beta releases in almost 3 years?) has voice capabilities and the ability to talk to Windows Live clients.

    Terrible release! No support for nickname, video and proper offline sorting.
    Seems like this is a desperate release to keep the Mac community at bay again.
    Use Adium X instead!
