Product Description:

I've given up on waiting for Micro$oft to bring out a Mac-like, fast, and functional version of MSN Messenger, and started writing my own client.. I called it youChat, as a reference to Apple's upcoming iChat (though admittedly youChat doesn't look nearly as cool as iChat), and 'you' referring to 'the dark side'. youChat has a single window interface to keep your desktop as clean as possible. Above all, it leaves some processing power for more important tasks. Because this version (v0.2) is only the result of a few days of programming in my free time, youChat doesn't have all the fancy stuff you'd expect from an instant messenger yet, but it works, and allready I'm using it in stead of the MicroSoft client.

What's new in this version:

  • Open multiple messenger sessions (choose "New Messenger" from the file menu)
  • Open tons of conversations without covering your desktop
  • Be VeryFast

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.2
  • Mac OS X 10.1

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.1 or higher

Crashed while logging in on 4 seperate tries, so I never saw the actual program. However, from the readme, it's missing a ton of features that even the regular MSN client has.

I couldn't even get it to login properly, not to mention the minimal documentation. This is what the application doesn't do: * List management (add/remove/block users from your list) * File transfer * Smileys * Fonts I'll pass up speed for those features.

.. to work. Double checked everything on my network. Fired up other Chat apps fine. Sorry, bad news I guess, was looking forward to a minimal app too.
