Looks great! Superior in interface design/layout to pidgin and a few of its competatiors... ONE SMALL THING however and that is, does it support webcam. So many free and open clients out there, all missing basic webcam/audio functionality.

Gonna keep and eye on it anyway

My bad, noticed its on their "Currently Working" list. GREAT NEWS! :D

As far as I know, aMSN has the best webcam support (although I understand Kopete works well too, though I haven't tried it). As I see it, the problems lies in the fact that there is no one, single easy way of implementing webcam support in Linux, so devs have to find their own methods for doing it. There is work underway with the Gnome Empathy/Telepathy project which may see the light of day in the next Ubuntu release, and that looks promising, but as is so often the case, until developers can figure out the solution, features like cam support and direct file transfers are often given a lower priority than others.

I'll have to give this a whirl, it looks pretty good.

I'm currently using emesene, and some cool information is that the emesene dev's (As well as others) are joining forces to make aMSN 2, which will have support for multiple GUI frontends :D

Looks neat. As mentioned previously, most of them lack video conf support. Amsn does, but its interface isnt the most pleasent. I use amesene which also looks neat, but no cam support. Anyways :rolleyes:

Kopete does, but has some terrible performance issues when using it lol.
