This way if a buddy of mine is using his jabber account and AIM account, I will only see one NAME instead of 2 in 2 different windowsĪ little thing, but i think important enough to mention
I would love to see all three windows be thrown into one - and support for meta data ala adium.
If you are using your jabber account and AIM, 2 ichat windows show as if you are using iChat and enable rendezvous messaging. So they dont exactly allow you to add MSN accounts, but if you type the MSN account as shown in the jabber field of IM in address book, it can be doneĮdit - i faileed to mention that I would love to see a change in the way iChat handles contacts. My only gripe with the msn integration via jabber, to add a buddys msn account to youur list - you have to add an account name thats like 100 characters longĮxample example has to be thier "jabber" account name, if you are adding from the address book. AIM) rather than introducing its own one into the mix. The best move Apple did when producing iChat was to use an already exisiting protocol (i.e. I'm hoping to one-day see a standard protocol, just like the internet protocols. Supporting open standards like Jabber has got to be a good thing, even though I know no-one who uses it (they're all on MSN!). At least MSN Messenger 4 for Mac fixed by connection timeout issues. I can't really say it's bad, it's just a shame I can't use iChat with it. MSN is definately the most popular that I know of, in Europe at least. I could even see Microsoft charging subscription fees for MSN Messenger in the future as an anti-spam measure.ĪIM is certainly not the defacto standard over here. Microsoft is always trying to break Proteus, etc which have to be constantly updated to remain able to access the MSN network. I'm sure they'd like to have MSN and Yahoo support, but I bet it's down to Microsoft and Yahoo whether that could happen or not. IMO, the more protocols iChat plays ball with the better.
