Suhail Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 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 Messenger for Mac 7 is an integrated communications client that enables you to communicate with contacts within and outside your organization. Messenger for Mac 7 is a Universal application that is built to run on both PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macs and makes it easy to take advantage of the full power of real-time communications.

Chest12 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 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.

A Nonny Moose Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 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???

Lostgame Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 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.
