    Hmm, it does work. Interesting. Good find, mattireland :). But personally I don't see enough incentive to switch over to this from Adium though :p.

    Safari is not supported, so bleh. And I'm guessing it doesn't have video chat either, so like sam said, very little reason to switch from adium.

    why wouldn't Microsoft like it? Microsoft made that ....
    It is from MSN.com and MSN is short for Microsoft Network

    webmessenger.msn.com has been there for many years and it is just an expendient way of using msn messenger when you do not have a "real messenger".

    I wouldn't be surprised that webmessenger doesn't support safari (and microsoft may have did that on purpose). Anyway, the latest MAC version MSN messenger isn't compatible with safari 3 beta either---it crashes whenever I close a conversation windows :S
