0.98.9 is the same as a 0.99 release but without MSNP18 support, this way you get the latest stable release just before we upgrade the protocol.ĭownload aMSN now for free, as always, from our website!
In 0.99, which will be released (hopefully) soon, we will implement the new MSNP18 protocol version, which will enable signing in at multiple locations, offline messages, and hopefully audio and video calls too. The reason you see 0.98.9 and not 0.98.5 is that this release is “almost” 0.99. There are no additional features, but this is not a problem due to the free program's limited function.įor those who use instant messenger but do not have a Windows OS available, Microsoft Messenger for Mac performs all of the expected functions at no cost.While the aMSN team has been less active recently than it was in previous years, we are still alive, and to prove it, we’re releasing a new version today! aMSN 0.98.9 is now available for download!Īfter such a long time in the making, aMSN 0.98.9 is more than just a bugfix release, it’s the latest development code with all the new features and stability/security fixes that you’ve been waiting for. The program, even it's closed, remains active in the background to notify the user when any new messages are received. As with any Microsoft product, there is good support available for any technical issues encountered. The interface also allowed easy selection of online contacts for sending new messages. The indicators for those contacts online and offline were clear to read. Buttons for video, calls, messages, mail, and contacts are simple and easily distinguishable based on their graphics. Even for those who are not familiar with the program, it is easy to navigate despite the lack of instructions. After we accepted the user agreement and signed in with an instant messenger username and password, the interface appeared just as it does on Microsoft operating systems. In addition to the fast download, the installer was well designed, getting the program loaded and running in under a minute.
Microsoft Messenger for Mac is available for download as freeware with no paid upgrades necessary. Microsoft Messenger for Mac helps keep track of instant messenger communications while using a Mac OS. Those using Microsoft applications sometimes have difficultly when using a Mac.
