Messenger

What a joke... feature wise this is a disaster.
C'mon... Microsoft, one of the biggest if not the biggest corporation in the world... and they can't even get their cousin Messenger client right!
I bet it's a tactic to get ppl to go bak to Windows...
Most ppl use Mac simply to keep away from Widows. So I don't see it being all that effective.
They'll just use another Mac client.

Messenger on the Mac is about as useful as Safari on the PC....What a joke, this is as bad as yahoo's mac offering. Adium is all you really have until it becomes easier to use Pidgin on a mac, but I personally dislike Adium for many reasons.
Jabber anyone? You can always just use gmail chat to talk to your contacts through transports if you don't want to use a client (though this will temporarily require psi or an equivalent to add the transport to your gmail/jabber account)

Installed it. Feature-wise there isn’t much new features added compare to its Windows counterpart. And the download/upload transfer speed is still disastrous again compared to its Windows cousin.

While this one apparently has audio and video included, they seem to be restricted to corporate accounts. It's better than it was, but it's definitely not a good solution, still.
I'll continue to use Mercury Messenger for video, although the latest Yahoo! Messenger beta (5 distinct beta releases in almost 3 years?) has voice capabilities and the ability to talk to Windows Live clients.

Terrible release! No support for nickname, video and proper offline sorting.
Seems like this is a desperate release to keep the Mac community at bay again.
Use Adium X instead!

Yesterday I downloaded MSN Messenger for Mac OS X 5.0 because some of my friends have it. What a nightmare. I had a .NET passport a long time ago with an old email and wanted to change it, but every link I clicked on was either dead or misdirected. I tried changing my profile through Preferences/Member Services, but instead of taking me to a web page it showed me the source code! I send an email to them for help but the first thing they said was to click on a link, which of course took me to a '404' page. How can any website be so malfunctional, especially by a big name? My only beef with AIM and YIM is being unable to send files, but I don't do a lot of that anyway.

meh this is perthetic!! microsoft boast about taking advantage of the power of msn yeh for what multiple file sharing and faster instant messenging. pshh like we do that much like i hardley fil share only accationally and isnt the instant meserging fast enouth? microsoft is wasting my time and everyones time why are they using the power for that anyway weres the webcam were the audio support becuase then the power would be worth while and not spent on a jumble of letters. im sick and tired of all my freinds having pcs becinag able to speak to each other and see each other while i have to spend hours finding programs that support that wiv microsoft. i reckon if u do webcam/audio support u may beat ichat becuase the ull e taking big advantage of what msn is capible of and everyone will be using it!! it dont really take a rocket scentist to figure that out?

The consistency of disappointing messenger products for macs from Microsoft is a clear indication of their inability to give the consumer what it wants. Yahoo and AOL have had their ducks in a row for years. What exactly changed besides them going from a really bloated “msn” messenger to a slightly skinnier “Microsoft” messenger. A change in themes shouldn’t warrant a new version. If that’s all the genius barn over in Redmond can come up with, this will be the last Microsoft “release” I download for quite some time.

MSN messenger in general sucks. I'm all for mac support (I'm really a mac person at heart... even though I'm on a PC... most of the time) but I'm against anything MSN. AIM and Yahoo do everything that MSN does plus more... and they're a LOT less annoying. It took me a week to figure out a way to uninstall MSN messenger from my PC. It's like adware that some people actually want to download.
And by the way, AIM really isn't bad. you can install it without all their dumb extra features (AOL browser, toolbar, etc) and then it's really quite useful. Yahoo, on the other hand... it's one of the glitchiest programs I've ever used... and a word of warning, do NOT download the new version 7. It's even worse.

This is the Microsoft try to make OS X unconfortable, ugly and obsolete.
Fortunatly you have great alternatives, like Adiumx that works great for icq, yahoo, m$n and networks that you never heard of :D
In fact, if you bought a Mac, is a bad idea to load any M$ software. They are worse than the already buggy Windows ones, and that's too much.
M$N me$$enger sucks
Virtual PC Sucks (version 6 worked great, then, M$ bought and ruined it with version 7)
Office 2004: It sucks, is pretty slow and hang like hell.
Microsoft: Please make more hardware. Your hardware rules, and your software sucks (too much).

Eh, it's not that big of a deal, I think I am switching back to Adium. In addition, it appears sort of bulky.

Installing Apps on MAC

Messenger

Most MacOS applications downloaded from outside the App Store come inside a DMG file. Like if you wanna download Microsoft Messenger for Mac from this page, you’ll directly get the .dmg installation file into your MAC.

  1. First, download the Microsoft Messenger for Mac .dmg installation file from the official link on above
  2. Double-click the DMG file to open it, and you’ll see a Finder window.

You don’t have to put your programs in the Applications folder, though: they’ll run from anywhere. Some people create a “Games” directory, to keep games separate from other applications. But Applications is the most convenient place to put things, so we suggest you just put everything there.

DMG files are mounted by your system, like a sort of virtual hard drive. When you’re done installing the application, it’s a good idea to unmount the DMG in Finder.
