I first wish to apologize for the adjournment of this post, it should have been constructed before the new year. In a reflection of 2009 the Office for Mac development team shed light on Messenger for Mac's future during 2010:

So what's up with Messenger? One of the most frequent questions we get here on Mojo and in forums is that you – our customers and community- want an update on timing for A/V support in the Messenger personal service, especially since we shared our plan to deliver a beta of personal A/V in 2009. Here's the update: progress has been slower than expected due to the challenge of connecting to the most current A/V code running on the Windows Live servers. We will not have a beta available in 2009, but we are close: we are in "dogfood", and we plan to have the beta available to you by next March. We know how anxious you are to use this new version, but I want to ensure we are delivering a top quality experience before we ship, and we will have that in March.



It appears technical difficulties have delayed the overdue feature of audio and video conversations, something we witnessed in working condition last march when an internal build leaked. Nevertheless a beta is expected this March and as a Mac user myself it cannot come soon enough.
