After a short two-year wait since the last major version of Microsoft’s Messenger for Mac shipped (Version 7 shipped for Tiger in April 2008), it looks like Microsoft has made the first public betas of version 8 available (download link). A “crashier” version was leaked earlier this week but this one appears to be somewhat stable.
New features in version 8 include audio and video chat capabilities. OK, that’s it.
Microsoft notes (PDF) that some features don’t work in this beta including: File transfers, Video Audio Chat for corporate accounts, and Audio/Video calls on many network configurations. (not a joke, read the PDF)
All of that, in just two years.
Right. Going back to Adium.
