For those interested, MS has released the latest version of their Mac MSN Messenger client.

so far doesn't seem that different to version 6.0 imo

I'll stick with Adium. Until they add tabs, no way I'll move away from Adium.

I've been using it whenever I'm using my Mac.

Don't really see the difference from Mac Messenger 6. However I noticed I can send offline messages now, so thats a plus. lol
and the more glossy interface it has. lol. other than that. I dont see any new features. at least features i would normally use.. hehe

Seriously try Adium. All other MSN clients (even Windows Live for PC) will feel far inferior.

I do use Adium. I just prefer to use a separate client for my main MSN messenger. Yea.. its weird. oh well.

Adium is a good IM client. I use it for my AIM accounts and my secondary MSN messenger.

The only thing I like in iChat better than Adium is the AV capability. I know Adium is supposedly working on AV for the next major release but it seems to be going slow. But Adium is still, by far, the best IM program on the Mac.

If I knew other people who used iChat I'd definitely use it, however everyone I know uses a PC with MSN
