Hello All,

I'm a switcher. Just downloaded MSN messenger 6.0.1 to use for video chat and when I tried, it, said that this version doesn't support it.

Do any of the MSN version for MAC support video chat? Kind of sucks when I have a built in iSight and can't use it (GF has windows..so I use my windows computer for chat).

Thanks!

No video chat for MSN available yet but you can use iChat (which uses the Aim protocol), Yahoo or Skype.

Ok ok sorry, I'm knackard today and so not quite 'with it'. I don't like Mercury or aMsn and don't count them.
aMSN is ugly, even on Linux and Mercury has always been clunky/fugly for me. Nothing can replace Adium. Bring on libgaim support for Video.
