aMSN is an MSN Messenger clone licensed under the GPL.

    It is so far the best option to use on a Mac that I've found so far. Looks kinda crapy though.

    If you're going to stick to only MSN, this is 'the' program to use on linux.

    Programa leve, e substitui com classe o WLM. Tem suporte a plugins e skins. Sua interface que não é das melhores mas o uso de skins ameniza esse problema.

    I only really use this when I want to webcam chat. For casual chatting I use Adium or iChat.

    An alternate client to MLM. I used to use it because of its smilies (they are/were so cute, that once I tried to make them my default on Windows Messenger) It certainly isn't too much customizable, but when all that matters is to keep in touch, that is just irrelevant. And it's free, so maybe it deserves a try.

    Yes this aMSN. The first time I used this (wayyyy back), I used it to check if someone had deleted me from his/her contactlist ;).
    Now I use it because Live Messenger can't handle my router someway and aMSN is the next best thing after Live Messenger (with te Messpatch installed offcourse!).

    MrBrightside how about the fact that it's not a bloated ugly piece of crap like the official client? That's reason enough for me to use it on Windows. aMSN is the best msn client out there right now.

    The version for mac is way too buggy to be functional. It's slow and can't be trusted with remembering the preferences I give it. The features are plentiful except for being able to close the contact window without quitting the whole application.

    Overall:

    amsn is a good Windows live replacement, but only for the mac and Linux!
    it does work on windows too but it dosent offer anything that Windows live dosent.
    It's that there is No official MSN messenger for linux and the one on mac is good but it lacks functions. amsn best features are web cam support and nudge's.
    some skins and some plugins but very limited and limeted changes.
    adium is another msn app but this one too lacks functions.
    until trillian comes out for the mac I recomend that mac user stick woth MS how bad it might sound and the same with windows users.
