Hello all,
just wondering what everyone else's views are on the new MSN 7 for mac. I just downloaded it a few mins ago and seems almost the same. A few graphic tweaks but still no webcam support. At least their's aMSN for that.

So what ya think?

probably not so much of an update as adding some more smilies and facebook-isms to MSN6, then calling it MSN 7 to keep it sounding "up to date" with the PC version, while it continues to lag behind in every single area.

Adium is ok, but the thing squeaks, burps and makes various other sounds that freak me out.

iChat looks nice but I'll never use it since it doesn't work with anything except AIM, which no one uses here in Canada. Hell, even the other exchange students from Europe and Latin America haven't even heard it.
Must be a US thing. :cool:

Also for a fairly basic, but operational alternative to MSN messenger is Mercury Messenger.

I actually liked Mercury Messenger, but I found it was a pretty bad resource hog. It's why I sometimes use aMSN.
Maybe it's just me?

I haven't experienced any slowdowns using Mercury. I should also note that it lets you use your webcam, unlike MSN Messenger and you can sign in invisible.

Anyone know when (and if) Adium is having support for webcams? I really do not want to have to change to another IM, as it is great, with its customization and everything.

¿Eh? Lo siento por confirmar, no entiendo? Su sitio web no tiene nada que ver con Adium, que está loco.

P.S. Para cualquier español oradores: sí, he utilizado un traductor en línea, lo siento por la mala gramática.

Eso está bien, todo el mundo comete errores. Además, no estoy dispuesto a látigo que, a pesar de la helada puede.

P.S. Una vez más, lo lamento mucho, para el los posibles errores gramaticales. Esto es para todos los hispanohablantes.

No me culpa por la mala gramática, culpa Yahoo Bablefish. La buena gramática entra, mala gramática sale con el empuje del botón.
