The current version is 4.0.1 and it's been around for a long time now. When does Microsoft plan to update the Mac version? There are so many features in MSN Messenger 7 for windows that I wish they included; like: winks, pictures, handwriting, etc.

5.0 for Mac will be out quite soon. I don't know if they'll include all these features, however.

That's OK though. I wouldn't want any nudge or wink effects anyway.

The least that they should include is pictures and web cam support.

Agreed. Neither Apple nor MS want cross-platform video chatting (AIM is useless for video chat)
