Today I was greeted with a graceful sight in my Email. A link to the new version of MSN Messenger 7 for Mac which was released today. The download packs in at 21mb and is available in a wide array of European Languages. So if you use MSN for IM and are anxious for Audio and Video Chat support then head over to MacBU for your download.

Here is the Download Description

Apparently the audio/video stuff only works on Office Communications Server 2007.. ie. Corporate network.

Yep ur right u do need a corporate account. Microsoft need 2 pull there socks and make the features more useful as it is so far behind MSN messenger for Winblows. The features that they have added for personal accounts weren't rele worth the upgrade. I would Stick with version 6 cus its less stress on the CPU and takes up plus RAM..Yep ur right u do need a corporate account.

After using it for an hour or so I am still sticking with Trusty Adium which manages all 3 of my IM Accounts (MSN, GMail, AIM). Plus its got uber good looking themes and skins and excellent mods smile.gif

Why is it that aMSN can code messenger with a ton of features but Microsoft itself cannot code for Mac without treating us like red-headed stepchildren???

I get a 'no mountable file systems' error with the DMG. Nice work, Microsoft.

I don't know what to do, then, it's not working at all. Can somebody send me the contents of the DMG so I can upgrade?

Did you have different version of system.kext than kernel?
Lostgame
No, I'm running a MacBook Pro. And every other DMG I download works fine, it's just the MSN one. Can somebody zip the files and send them that way, please? I use MSN everyday and I'd kill for even a minimal upgrade.
