This latest edition of Microsoft Messenger is part of the Microsoft's efforts to introduce the brand latest Live services and apps, this means a latest search engine, a fresh e-mail customer, and of course a fresh IM client such as this single.


This minor update of the 6th edition arrives with changes in naming and practicality, when this program was released as the 6th edition, it had the old name MSN Messenger, today there's Microsoft Messenger for Mac all place.


The practicality changes is really a bug fix, if you had problem with logging, this update has the fix for that matter.


This fresh release adds the long awaited communication with the Yahoo meshwork, Microsoft's network, still minus this characteristic, was the biggest IM meshwork, now with this intercommunication with Yahoo, Microsoft arrives a gainsay

for the competitor, the intercommunication is not totally compatible, sure characteristic won't work among these 2 meshwork such as the file moves, the icon packs, utilize in the Microsoft client, aren't compatible with the ones built in Yahoo Messenger, so don't expect a lot from this characteristic.


I liked the possibility to preserve your conversations, you can pick among automatic preserving or you can set the customer to needs your confirmation, all time you shut down a chat window.


The secrecy settings of this customer are rather good and well structured, if you have an bothering contact, you can stops it very simple with two mouse clicks.


I don't like the fact that the choice to send offline content is lacking, this is a client matter, since for as long as I can think the Windows edition does affirms offline content, if you have a Yahoo contact, this can be aprivacy matter, if a Yahoo! contact views you as offline and the individual sends you a content.
