MSN Messenger 6.01 for Mac Released

[preiffer]

Didn't seem to be any fanfare or auto-update offered - just stumbled on this by chance after my contacts list went funny.

MSN Messenger for Mac 6. Released 10/10.

Not sure when 6.0 happened, let alone 6.0.1 - but here's the MS blurb (seems to be a catch-up to the Live PC version):

Messenger for Mac 6.0.1 makes it easy to take advantage of the full power of instant messaging, and it is a Universal application built to run on both PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macs. If you encountered a sign-in issue with Messenger for Mac 6.0, you should upgrade to Messenger for Mac 6.0.1.

By using Messenger for Mac users can:

Chat with Yahoo! Messenger contacts
Add a status message that your personal contacts can see
Share what you are listening to in iTunes with your personal contacts
Create, send, and receive custom emoticons with personal contacts
Send and receive custom animated emoticons with personal contacts
Search for conversation histories using Spotlight
Check the spelling in your instant messages

Cheers for that. I too thought it was abit odd when my contacts went a bit funny.

still no webcam support tho
