RE: plus for mac os X
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.
