You can't use the Windows version unless you plan to run Windows in a virtual environment or Boot Camp. Download the Mac version from here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/messenger/default.mspx

Note, due to M$ obviously not being interested in providing up to date quality Mac software, this version still has no A/V and off line messaging for personal accounts.

The OP can't run Windows in a virtual environment or Boot Camp (unless Virtual PC), they have a G4.
