Microsoft has launched messenger for Mac 7, with new features for both the corporate service (works with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007) and personal service (works with the Windows Live service) and delivers audio and video for the first time in the corporate service.
Both services now have support for the Mac OS X Bonjour technology, which allows users to detect other Messenger for Mac users that are on the same local network. Messenger for Mac 7 displays additional presence states to reflect a contact's (or your own) availability. It will also automatically set status to 'In a call' when you are in an Audio or Video call and will allow users to add a personal note in case they want to provide a little more information about their status (for example: “I'm available through Messenger only!”).
Through the corporate service in Messenger for Mac, one can conduct virtual meetings with co-workers using audio and video calls. Users can communicate inside or outside their corporate network, communicate with co-workers running Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 on Windows, or participate in a multi-party Audio or Video conference.
Users of the personal service can now assign nicknames to their contacts to tell friends of the same name apart. Microsoft is still working on Audio and Video for the personal service. There's no word on when that will be ready.
