MSN 5.0 Mac

According to macrumors.com it is available for immediate release. Will this finally have the audio/video support we want? Most likely not. If you can, and you use it, upgrade it and let us know!

Actually, I think you've read that either on macnews.net.tc, appleinsider.com or another rumour page carrying the rumour. Currently, MS has not yet made the new version available. The new version was planned to be released last night/today, though...

All this new version has is a new look, display pictures, and better file transfer. Which would pretty much mean it has file transfer for the first time. MS 4.0 didn't work 99% of the time when sending off files to friends. I'm sticking with Aduim myself. it might be slower in some areas but it works all the time.

Whoops, my bad. In my checks of the rumor mills, I failed to quote the proper one. Appleinsider.com is where I saw it.

just downloaded it...

you now have two tabs - 'personal' and 'corporate' - if you dont need either one you cant remove them. so they just take up dea room. it would be better if it let you sign into multiple accounts as i thought it would.

its also a very clumsy use of the metal interface. it just doenst feel right.

your contacts are too far right from the left hand side also.

you can now have a display picture... yawwwwnnnn...

all in all it just doesnt look very clever.

It STILL does not support web cameras. iChat is still the king on my box.

Yawn is right. I just wish I could use iChat with video over Jabber. That would be nice...

I'm glad they let go of the 'MSN' in the name, though. People constantly kept mixing MSN as a provider, MSN as a webbrowser and MSN as a messenger app... Now, it's simply 'Messenger'.
