Here's hoping it isn't as crashy as 5.0 was. And hopefully, they'll get around to adding features currently
only available to users of MSN Messenger for Windows, and the betas of Windows Live Messenger.

I'm sure everyone heard about this one too, being the best MSN app for Mac yet: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/

it's not Mac-native, it's TCL/CK -- i.e. some things won't work properly, like scroll bars.

aMSN is a free open source MSN Messenger clone, with features such as:

Display pictures
Custom emoticons
Multi-language support (around 40 languages currently supported)
Webcam support
Sign in to more than one account at once
Full-speed File transfers
Group support
Normal, and animated emoticons with sounds
Chat logs
Timestamping
Event alarms
Conferencing support
Tabbed chat windows

Now you've said that, I bet Antony's going to say something about Apple's Human Interface Guidelines!
