Existing users, 
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.
Microsoft Messenger
Instant messaging tool.
Version: 7.0.2

It's Microsoft.Did you ever see anything what they gave, which is not bugy, starting from their own OS?
And, did you ever see that they ever - and I say EVER - cares for users oppinion?
They're using Messenger just for two purposes:
1. they are forcing you to open e-mail address at hotmail or some other service which THEY own, if you want to use messenger (about 2 years ago, my .mac address become unusable for Messenger)
2. they are trying to push you into using their portals (which are pathetic copy of early yahoo and similar).
It's just Microsoft, work and picture of Gates himself. Pathetic thieve and bad-copywork overseller.
