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...

It crashes if you change a profile picture.
It just crashes randomly all the time!
Completely useless!

Messenger for MAC with Webcam support!!.
i don't think i need to say anything about this messenger...what everyone wrote about it, its the raw truth!!
Video chat DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY...
Keeps Signing OFF by itself...
NO stability WHAT SO EVER!!But... there's still hope for those who want an MSN with Webcam compatibility
Download - aMsn its the only MSN for mac that can video chat!!

http://www.amsn-project.net/download.phpAlthough the interface of it is a bit different from the original MSN, it actually WORKS!this is the ONLY way untill Microsoft makes a MSN Messenger that WORKS like on Windows, however may take some time till that happens...
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 work
It crashes, its unstable
Its typical Microsoft!

Its a nice messenger upgrade with good features and same good old messenger touch and feel. but still chance of improvement are there, compared to windows version. Few points are troubling me, Video or Voice chat is very lousy currently always keep disconnecting, where as yahoo and skype works perfectly fine on the same internet speed. When ever i tried to do video/ voice chat, it signs me out in few minutes and i have to re-login. second problem, still not being able to send or receive offline messages. Until now i found only these problems.
Pros: 1. Video and Voice compatibility
2. Improved interface
Cons: 1. Trouble with Voice/ Video connectivity
2. Cannot Receive OFFLINE MESSAGES
3. Cannot Send messages while appearing offline.
4. Cannot Send messages to contacts who are currently offline.

constantly crashes.
i discovered this new version of msn for mac yesterday (15 april 2010). i was so excited so i downloaded the programme directly via the microsoft website. i dragged the msn 8 beta to my application folder, then double clicked the icon. it started running the version 8 beta msn, but after i logged in to my msn account successfully, the programme stopped responding. so i had to force quitting the programme, then i started to run the programme again but the same problem occurred. so i thought i might need to restart my mac (mac pro, 2 x 2.8GHz Quad Core Intel-Xeon with 10GB memory). After restarting the computer, double clicked on the msn 8 beta icon, still the programme stopped responding after i logged on to my account successfully. i gave up! i went back to the microsoft website and downloaded msn 7.0.2 and it works all fine. i have to say im very disappointed with the msn 8 beta. i have read some articles on the internet the msn 8 beta doesn't allow users to change their profile photo. so what is microsoft trying to gain here with the msn 8 beta?? im puzzled...
Cons: constantly crash on my mac pro
cannot change profile picture (based on other users' comments)

Well, just downloaded. Used different programs but they aren't all working very souples. This one is okay, the features added are wisely done. But still, bugs bugs bugs. When a video call starts/end it stops working and have to force quit it. Very annoying, it'll be fixed soon (at least, I hope so). After it, it'll be awesome to use.

Had used it .. yet ... .
I've used this MSN Ver. 8 Beta for a few days... I guess I should rise-out the matter of hang-up while chatting
Cons: always hang-up while I have my chat with friends which forces me to "Force Quit" MSN ... better work on this soon...

New Gears of War on the way? That seems to be the case.

OneDrive documents can now be opened directly from the Files app on a Chromebook

The ads in the Windows 11 start menu are already here, but you will be able to avoid them.
