The [url=http://communicatorteam.com/]Office Communicator team[/url] announced they’ve released Mac Messenger 7. Finally, an OCS 2007 compatible solution for Mac users! I can’t say this has been a roadblock to any deployments I’ve done, Mac users have to be used to limited software availability, but it was a definite annoyance. We all know how Mac users are notoriously squeaky wheels.
It will be nice to give Mac users an alternative to Communicator Web Access. Mac Messenger is a single client that supports both OCS 2007 and Windows Live Messenging. One client for both?! Is it too much to ask for this in the Windows version as well? Granted Office Communicator can talk with Windows Live contacts through the PIC function but that’s an add-on monthly subscription per user. Sorry to get off topic… You can learn more about Mac Messenger at the [url=https://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/messenger/default.mspx]Microsoft.com Mactopia site[/url] or you can just [url=https://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx?pid=Mactopia_Messenger&fid=20726b11-2ae8-4828-8b66-2964e277166d]download it[/url].
