Nice to see the mac bu is working on new things :)

Still can't use the iSight as a webcam then?

ill have a play but i'll probably stick with adium...

if anyone is getting an error saying they arnt connected to the internet or the service is unavailable go into preferences my network settings were set to manual instead of automatic.

wow i thought microsoft abandoned the msn on mac adventure? Still i'll stick with adiumX for now, but its nice to see microsoft making an effort :)

As always, bet they don't add proper webcam support. Poor show MS :(

Very few feature additions apart from the iTunes thing and personal messages thing ... still no webcam support :( iChat is the future :P

Webcam support is on it's way- http://blogs.msdn.com/macmojo/archiv...27/774149.aspx

Sorry to threadjack, but I'm tempted to switch from Windows to Mac OS. Do any of the 3rd party MSN clients support webcams?

adium does I believe :)

does it? ive not seen it on adium or am i being thick?

Mercury does too.

Nothing beats Adium imho, I can imagine as a larger percentage of people start using macs we will be seeing more different types of IM around. Hopefully they will have as many features as their windows counterpart.
