Hey guys,

Just installed Mercury Messenger 1.8 and I'm gonna give it a good shot. I want a MSN client that cna do everything that the Windows Live Messenger can.
Just installed Mercury Messenger 1.8 and I'm gonna give it a good shot. I've tried aMSN and Adium....

aMSN seems very out-dated and Adium doesn't have Audio and Video chat.

Hoping that Mercury Messenger is good.....

Let me know what you think????

Mercury used up way too much memory for my liking and it was kinda slow too. Well relatively speaking. But it runs fast still on my new imac. But it's worth a shot though :)

In overall performance, I think Adium is the best.

But the ONLY minus, is that it lacks video chat IMO.
