Hello. I'd like to post my thought on this new messenger. Let's start
with a preamble: I only use Messenger with a personal account, then
with the Windows Live network. At first, when I saw the Macupdate
post, i thought: "Wow, finally here it is!". I downloaded like a
flash, copied in the Application folder, run it... And, i'm sorry to
say, I was REALLY disappointed. I mean: new features are? The search
box and nicknames? I was looking for offline messages, animoticons,
maybe tabbed chat... Nothing was there. Even the old bugs, such as
erasing from the contact list those contacts I don't have anymore
(with 4 other clients -- Adium, aMSN, Mercury and WLM on Windows
they're gone, why Microsoft Messenger keeps showing me them?) was
there. So... Unless I'm doing something wrong, Microsoft Messenger has
a LONG way to go. And please, note that I'm not even metioning A/V, so
the same old story "we're moving to a new protocol so we're waiting
for it" (that, from a computer sciences student, it's perfectly
understandable) won't work :)
Sorry if this seems too rude, but I was really let down this time... I
only hope I made some positive criticism.
