Interesting point of view...but wrong.  ADIUM is more compareably a "Trillian" to Mac OS X...and I personally believe that "Trillian" is a horrible product, but I guess thats just my opinion.

Anyway, you can hardly compare ADIUM to Windows Live Messenger as ADIUM is a Multi-Network Client and Windows Live Messenger is a Single-Network Client with Cross-Network Support (Yahoo).  As for the design of Plus! versus ADIUM, Microsoft Windows XP and Below, as a majority, are graphically slimmer than Mac OS X therefore dont require as much GUI to replace the lack of features that Mac OS X has.

As for the Sign on time inconsistancy with Windows Live Messenger, on the first sign in it typically takes a few minutes longer due to the fact it has to download your display picture from the network as well as your contact list.  Microsoft Windows Vista has some great potential and once Microsoft has worked out the initial flaws, it will be a great comparison to OS X.  Mac OS X has been on the market for some time and is therefore going to be a little bit more stabler than any product released just 8 months ago.

So, enjoy your ADIUM and just know that you're missing out on the goodness of a real OS and a real chat client.

You can't compare a client to an add-onn

Talk about reviving an old thread

Anyway, i'd say try out Pidgin

blast from the extreme past

and this isn't a place for praising (or insulting) one Operating System over another.

In my opinion Apple are idiots to delay Leopard past September potentially losing millions of student customers going off to school, college or uni. I know I may have considered buying a macbook or something had it not been for the massive delay. As for Vista copying OS X Leopard has now got a translucent toolbar that looks sapped straight out of vista.

Apple fan's get way over themselves and insult Windows far too much.

Volde is right, you can't compare a client to an add-on.
ADIUM is ok, but no one liked Orville the duck

There is no version of plus! for mac and there never will be due to lack of API on the mac version of MSN Messenger. Basically MSN Messenger for mac does not have the technology for plus to run on.
