    Crashes (constantly) when changing display picture. A good mac variant of the msn messenger. The only bad thing is that the avatar cannot be changed without the program crashing (and resetting is to default)

    Webcam not Working! Freezes constantly!. I am using a new Intel Macbook and the iSight cam is not working on this client. I try to use video chat and it sends my status to busy and doesn't open the webcam properly. It just shows a picture of a webcam....Also, it takes forever to sign in and this is constantly, maybe 98% of the times I sign in. It can take up to 2 or 3 minutes to sign me in...

Pros: INTERFACE Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE BESIDES THE INTERFACE

    Quite simply terrible.... Awful, that about sums it up. You fire it up, you sign in, it freezes, you force quit, you fire it up, you... You get the idea and its just like that.So to be honest I guess this is to be expected from Microsoft as everytime they try and improve anything they make it 10 times worse. Thank god Im not using windows.... Pros: None Cons: It doesnt workIt crashes, its unstableIts typical Microsoft!
