PureLogic Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) Pure Logic are you serious???? it suposed to be released in June... did that change???Thanks Dan 586027092[/snapback] Yeah, according to a Microsoft representative at the 2005 WWDC it will be released in the next few months. She said that literally. It's funny when I think of it, the guy from http://r-james.myby.co.uk/messenger/ only had the things right that could be accessed publicly like the help files and the leaked Messenger 5 screenshot. I'm not implying anything of course. ;) Edited June 7, 2005 by PureLogic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureLogic Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 This is exactly what I mean: http://rjt-online.myby.co.uk/messenger/art...php?id=024&ref= He's just assuming that it's being delayed because of the Intel switch and acts like it's a fact. Didn't they say on the keynote that Microsoft Office 2004 will run on an Intel based Mac OS X system without any recompilation? So why wouldn't this be the case with MSN Messenger, since 4.0.1 is part of the Office 2004 suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would only happen when a new version of the client for Windows which features a new codec, as Microsoft seems unwilling to port current one across, and it'd be needed to be compatible with each other.

Syphonic Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) Looks like crap, and if that website is to belived it still wont have webcam support. If this is the case something seriously needs to be done, because I'd be dead if I didn't have a windows computer right now. i can't believe that it's so difficult for microsoft to put these features in the mac version. And yes, Steve said that Rosetta would allow programs written for PowerPC macs to run on Intel macs. So why can't Microsoft release what they've done anyway, knowing it would run fine on the new Intel ones when they are shipped. Anyhow, may have found a soloution: http://www.mercury.to/index.php?sub=Mac Latest beta of mercury messenger supports video on MSN Supposedly the latest version of aMSN also supports webcams, but I can't see any information about that in the changelog :/ Edited June 7, 2005 by Syphonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Seriously, they've been working on a moderate IM application update for over a year now, that's just insane. :/ 586027056[/snapback] Yahoo has them beat though. They haven't released a new version in over two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that Yahoo has gone even longer than Microsoft without an update to their Mac port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly I don't care about what Yahoo does, and I don't see what it has to do with Microsoft either. Just because Yahoo doesn't update it's Mac IM software, it's naturally Microsoft should do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Patriot Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I personally think it's pathetic that Mercury and other open source MSN Messenger replacements will have closer feature-parity to the Windows version of Messenger than the official MSN Messenger for Mac 5.0 (whenever it's finally released). The MBU has really dropped the ball on this. I tried a video chat using Mercury with a friend using MSN Messenger 7 on Windows last night and it worked very well.

Photo Monkey Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 You all know it's going to suck more than any of you thought and we're still going to be worse off. Come on Google IM is what I say! The logical way is that Google with use the AIM network, as they are good friends with AOL and Apple. So all your MSN friends will move to Google IM and then you can talk to them using iChat.

I don't have any illusions that it will be a great new super version of MSN Messenger for Mac, so don't tell me what I think. :rolleyes: And I don't need another IM protocol so I can have 3 applications/accounts running to acces all of my buddies. :pinch: Edited June 13, 2005 by PureLogic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajputwarrior Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 they are so dumb, they don't have any excuses right now why they can't have wwebcam support, none. AMSN has it and so does Mercury. Gaim is working on it now and when gaim gets it so will adium, so msn for mac is going to be dead sooner then later because the competition is kicking their ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be an explanation why they are taking so long to finish MSN Messenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
