Editor's review of Microsoft Messenger for Mac

3.0 stars

If you need a chat client to use exclusively with friends who use MSN Messenger, this app does the job, but doesn't offer much in the way of extra features. The tabbed interface makes it easy to organize your contacts into groups like Personal and Work, and sharing files is fairly painless.

One of our main issues with Microsoft Messenger is the lack of Webcam support which is almost a must have with many of the new Macs coming with an included Webcam. The sign-up process also makes you jump through several hoops to get set up. Overall, if you just want to chat with other users of MSN chat or Microsoft Messenger, this program will work. But if you want more features, like the ability to chat with multiple chat clients and Webcam support, you will need to look elsewhere.

"Good"

by hummerboy51 on July 13, 2008

Pros: This is almost as good as the messenger I had for windows... not the same thing but everything with mac is a change, but the change is worth it

Cons: Just that it's different from the windows version..the layout is completely different. But overall it's pretty good
