Come on Microsoft, what about Mac?

I recently moved over to Mac, as my main computer; but I'm still a MS fan,
but would like to see the betas, or any Live messenger for Mac. The latest
messenger available is still MSN messenger. I still own a PC, and have the
Beta on it, as well as the Vista Beta, but would like the new improvements
for my Mac!!!

We may be only 1 in 20 but mac users are more often open to "what's new" and
MS really needs to understand this.

I don't want to get bashed and flamed about how Macs suck by people who have
never touched the almighty one-button mouse, I'm simply ecpressing MY
OPINION! So please, if you have something against macs then please just move
along and don't bother posting a reply.

Greetings,

Any particular "improvement" you're missing? The latest Messenger:Mac is actually rather
well done in my opinion, with the exception of voice/video it's pretty much on par at least
with the basic functionality.

No, I'm actually quite happy with Messenger for Mac, but there is one problem
with it losing its network connection at random times (probably about 3-4
times a day) it's not a major issue but a little annoying.

The reason I was wondering about Betas is that I enjoy testing them and
being on the "cutting edge" so to speak.

Thank-you for your quick response

Hi,

Ah. Sometimes that's the result of some older router firmware, so might want to go to the
router manufacturers website and see if you have the latest. No guarantees though.

I don't know that much about how they handle the betas at the Microsoft MacBU (business unit)
but I know they're incredibly small and not easy to get into. From what I've been told in
the past anyway.

May I suggest that you do not bag Microsoft users by your remarks regarding
the mighty mouse. You are in a Microsoft.public.windows. live.messenger
forum and you should accept that when you are in Rome, do as the Romans do.
In other words, if you think that you are not happy with the way Apple and
Mac is serving you, than you should voice your oppinion in their forum.
