).

Actually, although it's really lacking in features. It just looks so much cooler. Laughing

But, in reality, I like the fact that it lacks all those useless and cluttering features, while still looking and performing better. But then again, it's Mac software; even though it's written by Microsoft. Razz

Update: At first I thought you were talking about something to do with MSN and Media Access Control. Thinking

i.e: MAC not Mac.

Yeah, I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't do something like cripple the Mac OS X MSN messenger client to give Windows some small advantage.

Oh, and if you're on a Mac and aren't using Adium, you're insane.

Gaim is good... although it takes a bit of work to get it installed on a mac

Adium uses the Gaim networking libraries, but a nice, highly customizable Cocoa interface.

Aaaa! After looking at that comparison table, I can tell how much better the mac version is. "Send/Recieve Nudges"? I can't imagine how big a waste of time that must be. The older versions of msn were seemingly much more usable than the new ones.

Integration with Microsoft Office

eh?

what's this? And it's only on the Mac version...

Notoroge · **Posted:** Fri Aug 12, 2005 12:59 pm

Well, Mac has it's own Microsoft Office. And apperantly their MSN version can integrate with it. That pretty much sums it up. Confused

[Gandalf] · **Posted:** Fri Aug 12, 2005 6:24 pm

Indeed, I was wondering that too. It has integration with the Mac MS Office, but not on Windows? Why would they do that, if on purpose..?

Because Microsoft's Mac Business Unit is better at writing Mac software than the rest of the company is at writing Windows software?

Yep. Also.. Microsoft's Office for mac is 100x better than that for windows. It has it's own set of unique features that that are absent in the windows' version. Just look it up: http://mactopia.com

give ms some credit... linux is open source and is developed by millions of developers... ms doesnt have that many employees.
