Please search the forums before posting as this topic has been discussed numerous times.

You can't get Messenger Plus! Live on Mac.  It is for the PC versions of Windows Live Messenger only.  Patchou has stated that there is virtually no chance of Messenger Plus! Live being developed for Mac and has thrown down the gauntlet that he would consider development if someone provided him with one of the latest mac systems.

Please search the forums if you would like to read more on the matter as there have been lengthy discussions

Yes, because virtualisation is obviously the answer to everything. Good job in completely missing the point, and proving that you have clue about the difference between running something virtually and natively. You and this guy should team up; you have very similar ways of thinking.

Go back to advocating Python.

Danny gave him an answer that it is not properly available running the system normally, Jarrod just provided another option to the user if they really want to use Messenger Plus! Live and Windows Live Messenger. If someone really wants to use a program i don't see whats wrong with providing another method to run a piece of software, so get off your high horse.

Don't see any need to attack anyone over it.
