The Mercury Messenger version 1.9 is up to beta 08, which is quite usable. I've yet to run into problems. It's available from the forums at http://mercury.to

Skype released beta 2.5.0.38 today and here is the VersionTracker link: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/24474

The biggest change I noticed, besides lots of bugfixes, was support for SMS.

So does Mercury 1.9 beta do AV chatting on Macs? I might need to go check that out!

It does video chatting, but no audio yet. It's still not Windows Messenger Live compatible. Version 1.8 was close to the latest version of MSN Messenger for Windows and then, WML appeared.
