Yesterday I downloaded MSN Messenger for Mac OS X 5.0 because some of my friends have it. What a nightmare. I had a.NET passport a long time ago with an old email and wanted to change it, but every link I clicked on was either dead or misdirected.
I tried changing my profile through Preferences/Member Services, but instead of taking me to a web page it showed me the source code! I send an email to them for help but the first thing they said was to click on a link, which of course took me to a '404' page. How can any website be so malfunctional, especially by a big name? My only beef with AIM and YIM is being unable to send files, but I don't do a lot of that anyway. Meh this is perthetic!!
Microsoft boast about taking advantage of the power of msn yeh for what multiple file sharing and faster instant messenging. Pshh like we do that much like i hardley fil share only accationally and isnt the instant meserging fast enouth? Microsoft is wasting my time and everyones time why are they using the power for that anyway weres the webcam were the audio support becuase then the power would be worth while and not spent on a jumble of letters. Im sick and tired of all my freinds having pcs becinag able to speak to each other and see each other while i have to spend hours finding programs that support that wiv microsoft. I reckon if u do webcam/audio support u may beat ichat becuase the ull e taking big advantage of what msn is capible of and everyone will be using it!! It dont really take a rocket scentist to figure that out? The consistency of disappointing messenger products for macs from Microsoft is a clear indication of their inability to give the consumer what it wants.
Yahoo and AOL have had their ducks in a row for years. What exactly changed besides them going from a really bloated “msn” messenger to a slightly skinnier “Microsoft” messenger.
A change in themes shouldn’t warrant a new version. If that’s all the genius barn over in Redmond can come up with, this will be the last Microsoft “release” I download for quite some time. MSN messenger in general sucks.
I'm all for mac support (I'm really a mac person at heart. Even though I'm on a PC.
Most of the time) but I'm against anything MSN. AIM and Yahoo do everything that MSN does plus more. And they're a LOT less annoying.
It took me a week to figure out a way to uninstall MSN messenger from my PC. It's like adware that some people actually want to download. And by the way, AIM really isn't bad.
You can install it without all their dumb extra features (AOL browser, toolbar, etc) and then it's really quite useful. Yahoo, on the other hand. It's one of the glitchiest programs I've ever used. And a word of warning, do NOT download the new version 7. It's even worse. This is the Microsoft try to make OS X unconfortable, ugly and obsolete.
Fortunatly you have great alternatives, like Adiumx that works great for icq, yahoo, m$n and networks that you never heard of:D In fact, if you bought a Mac, is a bad idea to load any M$ software. They are worse than the already buggy Windows ones, and that's too much. M$N me$$enger sucks Virtual PC Sucks (version 6 worked great, then, M$ bought and ruined it with version 7) Office 2004: It sucks, is pretty slow and hang like hell.
