CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
One of the most popular and customizable third-party clients in the multi-service chat category continues to impress. It supports multiple services, including AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber, and Napster. Part of what made the original Adium so attractive was its multitude of options, which still forms the core of this client.
This latest version is a big upgrade adding several features, fixing numerous minor bugs, and offers several refinements to the interface. Under the hood, the program is now powered by the same open-source core as multi-platform client Pidgin. Despite some file-sharing quirks, Adium X is a must-download for those looking to connect with multiple services.

Version: Adium 1.3.10
Pros: I used to use Microsoft's MSN for Mac before but I decided to try out Adium after MSN started signing me out automatically.
One thing I really like is the amount of customisation available which you just don't with Microsoft's MSN Messenger.Cons: No problems.
Summary: Now that I've used Adium, I don't know why people bother with Microsoft's MSN Messenger. Adium does what MSN does and more - especially connecting to many chat clients at the same time, and did I mention its customisation :)
