The update, which will bring A\/V support, has hit some speed bumps along the way, causing a longer than expected delay in beta deployment.  Apparently the trouble is in connecting to &#8220;the most current A\/V code running on the Windows Live servers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The news might be somewhat of a disappointment to those of you who remember a post on the very same blog from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.officeformac.com\/blog\/An-Update-on-Messenger-for-Mac\">last year<\/a> detailing the team&#8217;s plan to get A\/V support running sometime in 2009.  The Microsoft employees went as far as to say that they hoped to have a demo with A\/V working at this year&#8217;s Macworld Expo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The team is stating that the new version will be available in March and will be a &#8220;top quality experience.&#8221; Frankly, we didn&#8217;t know anyone still used MSN Messenger, or that it hadn&#8217;t been updated with A\/V capabilities yet.  Are any of you waiting on this update?
