    Question MSN-compatible iChat??

    Is it likely Apple will bring out a version of iChat that's compatible with MSN?

    Do we have some iChat-insiders here?

    No MSN is not opening its standard.

    The only solution would be that MSN makes its own iChat plug-in (with some way to advertise, of course).
    My current machine is an iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz 24" and a MacBook Pro 13" with MacOS X 10.6. My oldest Apple was born in 1977.

    MSN has some proprietary technologies for MSN messenger (as do Netscape for IM), and their layers suit people that use it.

    Red face Additionally…

    Plus, Proteus and Fire may be MSN compatible…_Proteus doesn't work well with MSN at the moment, and Fire won't work many things that MSN does (multiuser conversation, file transfer…)

    What I hope is a chat standard ...

    toast, you seem to pretty set in making sure everyone knows proteus doesnt work with msn, when in fact it does, im using it now and have been for a couple months...

    maybe its just you, or your preferences...
