[QUOTE="yogi, post: 246929, member: 8542"] Oh gof the poor fellow is going to be so confused.... Ok, let's clean up. 1. MSN for Mac is not going to mess your computer up. It might run a bit slower than other Apps because it won't run natively on your Intel Mac because it was originally written for PowerPC macs. Microsoft didn't bother to update. But again, it will NOT mess your mac up and it will run pretty fine. 2. iChat natively only supports AIM or .Mac . You would need a workaround with jabber to bring your MSN friends into iChat. It's tedious and unnecessary as you won't be able to use any of the "cool" features of iChat anyway (like video conferencing). See [url]http://allforces.com/2005/05/06/ichat-to-msn-through-jabber/[/url] for more info. 3. You can use MSN if your comfortable with it, but we tell you about alternatives because most mac users use those. MSN is fine, and the interface will be familiar, but since Macs are nicer-looking, apps like Adium allow you to do some neat stuff with the looks of your IM App. I have my contact list as a translucent box on my desktop. MSN won't do that. But you can use ti safely, all you like. [/QUOTE]
