Microsoft must have been in a hurry, since they 'forgot' that Mac users should also have the possibility to use the video call since most of the Macs have a built in iSight. The list of the missing features doesn't end here. Once again, a similar Windows application has more features than the Mac one and this isn't very nice from the producer. If a Yahoo! contact sees you as offline and the person sends you a message, then these things can happen: either that person receives a delivery error message or the message is sent and there goes away your privacy.Īnother thing that is missing is the 'Nudge' button. If you have a Yahoo! contact, this can be a privacy issue. This is a client issue, because for as long as I can remember the Windows version does support offline messages. I don't like the fact that the option to send offline messages is missing.
If you have an annoying contact, you can block it very easily with two mouse clicks. The privacy settings of this client are quite good and well structured. You can pick between automatic saving or you can set the client to require your confirmation, every time you close a chat window. I liked the possibility to save your conversations. The icon packs, used in the Microsoft client, aren't compatible with the ones built in Yahoo! Messenger, so don't expect a lot from this features. Certain features won't work between these two networks such as the file transfer. The intercommunication is not fully compatible. Now with this intercommunication with Yahoo!, Microsoft becomes a challenge for the competition. Microsoft's network, even without this feature, was the biggest IM network. This new release includes the long awaited communication with the Yahoo! network. If you had trouble with logging, this update has the fix for that issue. The functionality modification is actually a bug fix.
