"Good but crashes and has trouble logging in."
Version: Microsoft Messenger 8.0
Pros
Good video
Allows to finally be able to AV chat with Windows users
Okay layoutCons
Issues with logging in to account
Crashes a lot when initiating an AV chat
Lacks Winks capabilities that Windows users have
Does not show profile/avatar picturesSummary
For the most part, this is a great and long awaited application. Though it does still need some... tweaking, It's a good program I enjoy, unless I'm unable to log in or it crashes. Thx Microsoft for releasing it and enabling me to finally have AV chats with far far away friends and family.
I never upgraded to Snow Leopard. Maybe that's why mine works (most of the time) on my machine. I'm given to understand that with Snow Leopard, one can stay with 32 bits or switch to 64. Is this the case ? Which Are you ? Are we sure that Messenger 8 is compatible with your OS ??

It never worked so there is nothing positive to state.
