Ok, I *have* to be fair.

This version has some new long, long, long awaited features (custom emoticons, iTunes integration and personal messages!) but it still lacks some basic features such as webcam support.

There is one thing great, though. It uses a little less CPU and memory than AMSN or Mercury (the only two alternatives to MSN Messenger with more features than this version).

I'll give it 3 stars for the effort, but IMHO the lack of webcam support still kills this app most of the time.

As a clear message to Microsoft: you need to build Webcam functionality in "V.6.5" of MSN Messenger, c'mon!

Until then, this app is still not recommendable (you'll have better luck with AMSN).
