MSN Messenger OSX alternatives
 

I've been trying to use MSN messenger on my Mac for a while now, and I'm fed up with it. I can't seem to send and recieve files from certain users. I can send files to some people on Win XP, but not others. I tried using aMSN, but it opens conversations randomly on startup, and I hate having to close 10 windows before I can talk to the people I want to talk to. Does anyone know a good Mac program that can connect to the MSN Messenger network?

Definitely check out Proteus,
I hear fire is good as well

cant adium.. its pretty cool

I second adium, it supports all 4 major protocols (ICQ, AIM, Yahoo, and MSN) and is FREE...

I'll give them all a shot. Thanks Guys!

Fire.

Stable, frequent updates, themeable, supports all major networks, open source.

Not using OSX I cannot help you directly but... Something you may want to try is <a href="http://www.winehq.com">Wine</a>. It allows you to run Windows programs on other OSes. Since OSX is unix based, you should be able to get it compiled on there and then I saw while looking around google, that people have gotten MSN Messenger running on it.
