Since then, though, Microsoft has turned this little train around and made something that is actually usable. There was no video, no audio, barely any features at all, which opened the door for some competition from sources like aMSN, Mercury Messenger and Mac Messenger. The fact of the matter is that Microsoft Messenger is as capable as just about any other messenger out there.Ī lot of people don't remember how broken MSN Messenger was just a few years ago. I presume a lot of it has to do with the fact that the word 'Microsoft' is in the name, which apparently connotes that the product is entirely un-Mac and, therefore, eeevil.
I don't know about you, but iChat has a decided lack of features when compared to a lot of other clients.Įither way, Microsoft Messenger gets a lot of the same kind of flak that AOL Instant Messenger gets.
I love it when people blast pieces of instant messaging software, especially when they cite a lack of features.
