»X« Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I wouldn't call it 'Brand new'. I've switched permanently to Pidgin, and I haven't looked back yet. Thanks for that! Never heard of it before. Installed it and Im in love with it already.

.Neo Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 UI-wise I love Microsoft Messenger for Mac. It looks extremely clean, has no adds whatsoever by default and isn't filled withtoo many useless features someone mentioned earlier. Downside is that it currently lacks Webcam and Audio support, but that's supposed to change according to Microsoft's MacBU. It's too bad that with every update Microsoft completely throws Windows XP's UI overboard. While Messenger 8.5 and Media Player 11 look (more or less) at home on Windows Vista, they look like freaks on Windows XP.

j.r.l. Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 WLM itself is too bloated, but A-Patch fixes that :p It's just too bad it isn't compatible yet.

Daniel Tablas Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Am I the only one who finds the new UI mediocre? I like the current one better. The new one is a bit too overdone with gloss, and glass borders.

.Markus Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Why hasn't a newsposter put this on the front page? Because it's a beta only meant for internal use which has been leaked. It therefore qualifies as warez. Haven't used MSN Messenger since version 6 a few years ago, far too satisfied with Skype..
