I work in an office where half the clients are running OSX - latest version.
I'd like everyone in the office to be IMing eachother using the same
interface if possible or at least IM clients that work together well.

Greetings Boe,

Messenger:Mac supports both the .NET Messenger network and local Live Communication Servers
and the user interface is somewhat similar but still unique:

Thank you. I don't have a mac at home... do you happen to know if they can
use https://accountservices.passport.net/reg.srf to register their work
e-mail ID for their mac messenger account. Works great for LIVE - just
checking if it will also work for mac messenger.

Thanks again.
