Is mac messenger ever going to have video conferencing? I do not
understand why microsoft is holding back from supporting video
conferencing in mac. I believe it is a very dick thing to do.

Unfortunately, Messenger for Mac does not have the ability to do video &
audio chat. You could try using another program like iChat (and AOL Instant
Messenger on the PC end) for that. Or you could try Skype, though I've seen
mixed reviews concerning the video quality.

Note that Microsoft is working on a version of Messenger with audio and
video chat. Please see this post on Mac Mojo, the Microsoft Mac Business
Unit weblog for more information:
