UI-wise I love Microsoft Messenger for Mac. It looks extremely clean, has no adds whatsoever by default and isn't filled withtoo many useless features someone mentioned earlier. Downside is that it currently lacks Webcam and Audio support, but that's supposed to change according to Microsoft's MacBU.

It's too bad that with every update Microsoft completely throws Windows XP's UI overboard. While Messenger 8.5 and Media Player 11 look (more or less) at home on Windows Vista, they look like freaks on Windows XP.

Now when you have your XP customized to look like Vista ;)

Why hasn't a newsposter put this on the front page?

Because it's a beta only meant for internal use which has been leaked. It therefore qualifies as warez.

Haven't used MSN Messenger since version 6 a few years ago, far too satisfied with Skype..

    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575

      Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

      I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
