Battle of the videoconferencing betas: iChat AV vs. MSN Messenger 6 | |
|

David Pogue compares MSN Messenger 6 with iChat AV, both currently in beta form for The New York Times. "Even in their preliminary incarnations, these programs illustrate two important points. First, the addition of voice and video changes the experience so profoundly, it's not really chat any more. Second, Apple and Microsoft may as well have come from different planets," Pogue writes. "For example, Microsoft, true to tradition, has focused on expanding its list of features, while Apple has worked toward elegance and simplicity. Messenger is a cacophony of brightly colored buttons, panels, blinking advertisements and, in the new version, animated (and even homemade) smileys; iChat AV maintains the clean lines and brushed-metal 'surfaces' of its text-only predecessors," explains Pogue. | ||
