Oh, thanks for the heads up, grabbing it now.

edit: what's new? Looks a bit slicker but can't see much else...still no webcam support.

 

[Beepcake]

There is webcam support, but only for corporate accounts.. which is odd because they said the next version of messenger would merge the video standards of corporate and personal so the both work :/

 

[tsinc80697]

wish they would stick webcam support in fully!

 

[Scythe]

No webcam support?

This is what i was waiting for it for....

 

[hendrix]

It doesn't like my uni proxy for some reason, with both automatic settings from network preferences and by manually entering the proxy. Never had this problem with older version. (unless i'm missing something)

 

[Slogan]

They've clearly worked very very hard at it....

 

[Fillado]

You would've thought that sorting out the mess that is Office 2008 would have them busy!

 

[Aspect]

I wish msn wasn't so popular. It feels so wrong using it on my mac.

 

[FreeStream]

Ok that *really* sucks.

Offline messages!? Why the **** not!?

I hate adium and the rest, they just feel slow in comparison :/

Wow the Mac team at Microsoft must all have downs or something, first Office 2008, then an RDP beta that expires and they can't fix for three months, and now absolutely no sign of the webcam support that was promised for this version. It's almost as poor as Apple's efforts at writing Windows applications.

Can't see much of a difference, hopefully it'll be a bit more stable though

me too, doesn't work here either

I like the new icon

 

[Beepcake]

I like the way it looks, and hopefully it will stop the problem I have from time to time where I can't sign in for days (but every other Messenger client is fine). Can't believe they've not added some of the stuff from the PC version like nudges, and the lack of video is going against what they said earlier

 

[OllyM]

I'm quite happy it doesn't have nudges and rubbish like that, because they're all annoying features

has anything changed?

 

[killsta]

has anything changed?

The icon

 

[barnettgs]

It feels much snappier to use (due to Universal?) but shame about the webcam support!

Microsoft have said they're working on it and will release it asap.

 

[Irish_Tom]

Another vote for no nudges/winks what a load of gash they are.

Shame there's still no webcam support.
