R33C3  This is fantastic!

I love this program even more!

it was the only messenger for me that would not lag out...

I can now close it with "quitting" when i hit the "X" which is awesome i dont have to minimize anymore. It now has voice call!!! its faster and the sounds are quite unique

Well done guys!!!

R33C3  Yes i understand your point.. but some people are just that lazy or are so organized that they really only want one client that does all. More people use MSN and aim then skype, but i completely agree with you.

I dont understand why they cannot get video support in microsoft messenger... its starting to annoy me :@

AARGL  Well, reading all those bad reviews, I must say that if you use aMSN as a simple messenger (no video), it's more enjoyable than the original MSN.

But I wonder why bother having trouble with video functions on anything using msn network when Skype works so great on any platform?

The perfect solution I've chosen long ago and that I install for friends asking me: Use aMSN for messaging and Skype for video, it's so easy!

****.

GERMANO60  This second beta of incoming 0.98 dramatically increase the responsiveness of the application (I'm on a G5 iMac with OS X 10.5.3).

Still there's one systematic bug, but with a work-around. At the first connection after launching the application I get an error message, I click on "Ignore" then the program goes on but the connection to MSN doesn't establish. The work-around is: quit aMSN and relaunch it again. The connection this time works. This is the reason for my very personal rating 3 stars on stability.

Very good is the capability to access the personal MSN Spaces contents directly from the contact list. Still missing the audio, but for the rest this beta release finally rocks although it's not yet native Cocoa.

Keep up the very good job, men!

MATIEMAN  it did crash a few times when i first downloaded it, but it seems to only have crashed when i lost my internet connection.

I downloaded v0.98 and it seems to be more stable, it hasnt crashed at all on me yet, you can find it on the website.

the main reason that I use it is because it is the only version of msn messenger that supports video.

its not the best msn messenger for mac but it is the only one that supports video.

WHYNOT22  why do not use Mercury Messenger? I think it is better than aMSN. You can use camera in Mercury. And also you can record it at the same time. International languages support.

JACKWEB  It's crashing nearly everytime I either run it or try to login.

It uses the CPU a lot before crashing. Sometimes, seems random, it doesn't crash and keeps running. Unfortunately it seems very unstable :(

Adium for now...
