Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / June 2007Msn Messenger for Mac.
Simply put, one of the worst IM's for any OS around period. For shame Microsoft, with all your resources at your disposal you cant even make a stable program that actually keeps you online for more then 2 minutes. Lets not forget the lacking features that make this program an text based communicator that rivals the late 90's ICQ with a prettier interface. Get some video/audio support and the list of other features that are missing from its Window$ counterpart, and do it soon.

The only way I could see is making a petition to show M$ how much and how much angry we are...

There have been multiple petitions in the past with thousands of signatures asking Microsoft to add video and voice support. I am sure Microsoft, even Bill Gates and Steve Balmer know how utterly despised Microsoft software is by a majority of Mac users. Each time Microsoft issue a new version of Messenger for Mac, they come up with a new excuse as to why they could not do Video and Voice, and 'promise' it will be added in the next version. This has been going on for literally years. See these petitions and I am sure there used to be others as well. http://web.archive.org/web/20050326084850/r-james.myby.co.uk/mac/msnmessenge r/ 18,135 signatures <-- Note this page is no longer online so this is via the Internet Archive and is a copy dating back to 2005, it could have actually been higher than this figure. http://www.petitiononline.com/MSGRMAC/ 14,453 signatures http://www.petitiononline.com/msn64mac/ 11,977 signatures http://www.petitiononline.com/MSNMSG01/ 1,567 signatures http://www.petitiononline.com/WLM4MAC/ 98 signatures It is no wonder Mac users feel Microsoft suck when they treat us so badly. In fact I have come up with this scale of suckability to accommodate the staggering level of suckiness of Microsoft software for Mac. Obviously, the further right on this scale the greater the level of suckiness. Bill Clinton Industrial Vacuum Inter-Stellar Black Microsoft Not Inhaling Pump Space Hole software! [Hmmm, perhaps the missing (Dark) matter physicists are looking for is actually the force exerted by the suckiness of Microsoft software!] Unfortunately, these petitions do not work, not because Microsoft are ignoring them, but more likely because Microsoft feel no shame over the ghastly quality of their Mac software. I would not want to work for Microsoft, not because they are the 'dark side', not because I might have to use Windows (I have a Windows Media Center at home), not because they may or may not any longer be the most attractive employer, but rather because I would be ashamed to be associated with such awful products. [Please no physicists pointing out any flaws in the above scale, it is supposed to be a joke.] > On 22/6/07 09:42, in article > 1182501760.677096.37...@q75g2000hsh.googlegroups.com, "cm0901" [quoted text clipped - 59 lines] > [Please no physicists pointing out any flaws in the above scale, it is > supposed to be a joke.] Better use Yahoo its stable and support messaging to MSN. Microsoft MAC business unit is sleeping. They care less about the customers. > Simply put, one of the worst IM's for any OS around period.

My daughter's PC won't run Live Messenger at all, despite many attempts to clear and reinstall it, it just will not work.  SignatureAndy Hewitt <http://web.mac.com/andrewhewitt1/> |
