Thanks Paul for this ...

Microsoft just released version 3.5 of the Mac version of their popular Instant Messaging software, MSN Messenger:

Send instant messages to all your friends, chat with your friends individually or in a group, see when someone's typing, page a contact's mobile phone, send pictures to your friends, and take advantage of many ease-of-use and user interface enhancements designed to perform perfectly with Mac OS X.

This version has nice new graphics and logos, and offers nice integration with OSX.

The AquaMark3 program is available for all PC users to download from the official website. When run, AquaMark3 executes a complete state-of-the-art game engine and generates 3D scenes which, unlike other benchmarks, are designed to make the same demands of users' hardware as a modern game. It then outputs a set of scores giving a breakdown of the performance of different parts of the user's PC, calculated from how effectively the system managed to run the test. This score can then be compared to the scores of other PC users to see whether their hardware is configured for optimal performance.

for me i noticed: -ability to archive messages -faster gui -actually connects to the msn servers/stays connected -new dock icons (for when connecting and when offline) -when you click on dock icon, contact list doesnt pop up in front like in 3.0 (unless you only have contact list open) so far its pretty good, havent been dc'ed even once yet

I just noticed that in the screenies about it being able to archive your convo's, wonder why this hasnt been implemented into MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger already?
