Product Description:

Messenger for Mac 5.0 makes it easy to take advantage of the full power of instant messaging. Messenger for Mac offers two types of communication services- a personal account and a corporate account. A personal account works with the MSNĀ® Messenger service on the Microsoft Passport Network. Contacts that you add to your personal account will include friends and family members. A corporate account uses the Microsoft Office Live Communications Server service and can include contacts who use other instant messaging services, such as AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Yahoo Messenger, and iChat users who are signed in with AOL accounts.

What's new in this version:

Introduces tabbed viewing, a new approach for Mac customers who use instant messaging for work and for play. Users may simultaneously access corporate and personal Messenger accounts and set a unique user status on each. The personal tab allows users to instant message (IM) with friends and family, while support for Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 enables enterprise customers to IM in a security-enhanced manner via the corporate tab with colleagues inside and out the network.

Safari 4 "beta" while marked as beta, not very unstable so most people keep it as default browser.

Messenger 7.0.2 has problem with the Webkit (system wide) coming with the Safari 4 beta so it loses focus in chat windows every time when you press enter. It is such an obvious bug that any user can see. It has been reported on Microsoft web forums and NNTP server numerous times by different people. It is not something like you have to sample the process, show very technical details or anything. It loses focus, basic as that!

It has been 2 months MS can live with an instant messenger which is the most popular product of Mac (check download numbers) and _also_ used in corporate communications having such a bug.

I know some developers who aren't paid, giving no guarantee of any sort would cancel their real life events to fix such a bug and they rely on donations, not a multi billion gigantic company.

This application and its lack of updates should show you how much to rely on MS on OS X. ZERO.
