Advantages: easy to use

Disadvantages: hard to install if you dont have the know how

I use a apple mac system so my version of msn messenger is different to the standard pc version all my friends use.

To look it its very different , much more slim lined and sleek,My main functions on my msn task bar are-

Add(add new contacts)
Send (send a message to your contact/s)
Send file ( music/pictures whatever you need to send really)
Page (send a message to your contacts mobile/pager)
Mail (send and email if the contact you wanted to speak to isnt online)

Next i have the little box where i can set my on screen user name and below that another little box to add a little comment,like a post it note to your contacts.
(this has only recently been added to the new upgrade for mac messenger)

Below that is a search bar- search for info, contacts anything you like which is pretty cool.

then below that is your contacts list-

online contacts on one tab so you know whos there that you can chat to at the time.
offline contacts so you can use there details to send an email if needed.( you are not able to send off line messages on mac messenger like you can on a pc system.
so when you sign in on a pc be prepared to be bombarded with offline messages that your friends may have left you without realising that you cant receive them on mac.

on the side of you conversation box is a tab to change your display picture if you like and you are aslo able to view your friends picture at the same time,this tab can be hidden to make the conversation box smaller.

The conversation box only has a few features.
Main task bar at the top of your conversation box has the features to enable you to invite another contact to your conversation,block the contact you are currently speaking to.send file to that person,save your conversation and see there display picture.
The secondary features are-
One is a little face- you click on here to see the emoticons you have and can use.(you can add custom emoticons if you like and have the know how)
Second is a text editor which is the A symbol. This lets you change the font,size and color of your text plus bold,italic and underline aswell.

Summary: an excellent program adapted from pc to mac and really works well :o)
