Yep. It was not when I first posted. I've updated the story and added a link.

Thanks,

What, ppl still use MSN?
by dbargen April 29, 2008 12:00 PM PDT
In my many circles of friends, the only ones that I know that use
MSN do so under protest when the networks at their schools block
AIM ports in the classrooms.
Well we noticed it now

If I didn't have the earlier version installed and/or I wasn't using it
regularly I wouldn't know about any updates. That is one of the
reasons I read tech news sites, to find about new or updated
products.

Messenger 7 and Communicator
by jwesman April 29, 2008 4:00 PM PDT
I have found today that our servers are using communicator 2005.
With this, it will not let us log in using Messenger 7. They should
have let it work with older communicators

Why on earth would I use this instead of Adium?

Not only would my mac no longer be MS free, but would I also get
ads like the windows version?

Why, Microsoft? WHY NO A/V FOR PERSONAL?!
by espeed623 April 29, 2008 11:41 PM PDT
I was really hoping for A/V features so that I wouldn't have to be
stuck using Windows for my A/V communication. But I guess M$
likes making the poor Mac user use Windows for A/V in Messenger.
I am disappointed in you, Microsoft. Don't create hype for features
that us non-corporates won't have.
