Microsoft Messenger for Mac 6.0.2


Recommended Posts

Still no webcam support...

this is actually pretty LAME.

I'm sick of having to use Proteus in order to get pretty much all Windows WLM features lol.

I know, the Mac version will always be the light one, but dudes... WEBCAM, this is such a BASIC feature for a messenger nowadays.

We might see it in Messenger 7. Messenger 6 was only meant for quick Universal Support and some other minor modifications. Even though Messenger 6:mac lacks audio and webcam support I very much prefer it over de crap they released for Windows.

idd... its way more clean looking etc...

allthough i miss some win features.

but mercury (sorry that i said proteus, i mean mercury) is a quite nice replacement so far, it just doesnt feel like a mac app, actually looks pretty win-ish

What's missing now is :

Audio

Video

Games

Ink messages

Emoticons as we type

All the rest is real bull crap :p

So has anyone noticed any differences? The screenshots look identical to 6.0.1 to me.

I haven't noticed any differences with the aesthetics, however the program feels more responsive and stable than Messenger for Mac 6.0.1.

bit off topic but i've never understood how messenger for mac looks great but for windows it looks crap, and how windows version has adds and mac version doesnt! just crazy.

Yeah I've always thought that. Even though Messenger for Mac lacks many Windows Live Messenger features, it sure looks better.

Care to put some money on that?

Admittedly, this one is from a G3 iMac, but I think that if you look at the OEM hard drive that comes in most Macs, you'll see that Apple logo on them, thus they are "Apple Branded", even though they are made by various companies.

I want offline messages and roaming display pictures.

Roaming display pictures? What's that? I don't recall anything like that being on even the Windows version.

And as for offline messages, Microsoft Messenger sometimes lets you accidentally send and receive offline messages. You can't start them, but if someone offline messages you first, it seems to work fine.

hey, everybody.

i didn't notice anything from 6.0.1.

Does kizzaaa mean dynamic display pictures like on wlm for pc?

Also, i'd like to see some sort of system so that your iTunes album art becomes your display picture.

Something like http://www.msgstuff.com/downloads/file/76/ but for mac.

Thoughts?

When I saw this thread in the recent forum entries, I thought a new version of Messenger was released.

Windows Live Messenger 8.1

This version was released from Microsoft on January 29, 2007. New features include improvements for Windows Vista compatibility, roaming Display Pictures and Personal Messages (which means that the Display Picture is stored on Windows Live servers and will not change if you log in from another computer).

Roaming Identity - Display Names and Pictures can be saved so they are the same on each computer you sign into.
ah right. Yeh, i was wondering what was going on. My msn suddenly turned very buggy since i installed safari 3.

Yeah I have actually started to notice this as well. At first I thought it was crashing as usual, but since installing Safari 3 beta, I've noticed it even more.

    • Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.
    • It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.
    • So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
