MSN Client for Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the o-k dept.

DrJonesAC2 writes "MSN has released its software client for Mac OS X today. This software functions just like the PC version with a few exceptions (like chat and money). This software launch has its glitches, however; you cannot download it from Microsoft's Mac site you need to go here to get it."

  2. What's MSN? by joto · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought it was a TV-channel of some kind. Or maybe some website. Oh no, now I remember, it was that extra icon that came with Windows 98 nobody used... Is that the client that is now ported to Mac OS X? I guess they'll be raving about it then... Lucky mac-users...

    That's because the bible clearly states 'A man shall not lie with a man as a man lies with a woman' (actually I was under the impression that a 180 degree rotation takes place, but I digress). It's in Leviticus. I suggest you read it. It's on the same page as the bit about not eating shellfish or animals with cloven hooves.

    Ha, who says the bible isn't relevant? (Actually is it quite funny to point at your gay christian friends and say 'Haha! You eat shellfish! You're going to hell!' Okay, so it's not funny, but it seems like it is when you're drunk...)

    Disclaimer: I am not a Christian, though I have read the Bible. I am not Muslim, though I have read the Qur'an (well, technically an English 'interpretation' of the Qur'an). I do not descriminate against any one religion, I discriminate against all of them. Equally. If you are a religious person who can't take having a little fun poked at their faith, I suggest you go and live in a box and never interact with the world again. Air holes on said box are optional.

    Actually, I think he's right. Most people DO think that homosexuality is a moral abomination.

    Actually, I think a lot of people just see homosexuality as a way of eliminating some of the competition (and have you noticed how many girls seem to think that it's exactly the bit of the competition you want eliminated that manages to be gay?)

    Isn't frustration with MS one of the reasons most people move to Mac/Linux?

    I just can't see all those Mac users saying "mmm... finally, secure computing!"

    That's always been my philosophy. I see a good-looking gay man, I'm a happy puppy. I figure the really attractive ones are equivalent (in RIAA math) to eliminating three average males from the dating pool.

    don't see where the news is. So okay, now there's a MSN client I won't use on OS X, just as there's a MSN client I won't use on Windows. Have a nice day.

    Funny thing that they chose to use a Butterfly as it's icon as it's essentially a bug.
