Best MSN Client for MAC?

Hi guys,

I have been looking through the numerous MSN clients for MAC including aMSN, Adium, Fire, Mercury etc... Can anyone shed any light as to which is the best/most stable/secure etc..??

I would like something nice and simple and with as many original msn 7 features as possible and webcam support would be nice.

Many thanks

there is a mac version of MSN Messenger, I know its with the Office pack.
BUT, when I try to sign in, it says it need to upgrad, and when I do that its downloading the new version, but will not install. WEIRD.

I prefer adium, no voice/video but most discrete and customisable look and feel. adiumx.com for the client, adiumxtras.com for all the skins.

I second Ora's recommendation for Adium. It's one of the best multi-protocol IM clients out there.
