Microsoft Messenger for Mac (previously MSN Messenger for Mac) is the official Mac OS Xinstant messaging client for use with Microsoft's .NET Messenger Service and is developed by the Macintosh Business Unit, a division of Microsoft. However, the feature list is limited in comparison to that of its counterpart Windows Live Messenger. The client is still maintained and updated but still lacks a number of features that its Windows counterpart contains. However, several third-party applications that have support for the .NET Messenger Service, such as Trillian (software), Adium and aMSN, incorporate some of the features missing from the official client.
