Microsoft thinks so; Messenger is part of the MS Office for Mac suite, and
is
also available separately.

It bears noting that the Mac version of Messenger doesn't do some
things that the Windows version does, like video chatting.

This does not surprise me, Microsoft being, well, Microsoft. She could always
use iChat instead, I suppose. I rarely use either Messenger or iChat so I'm
not up on the abilities of either.

as ichat (at least with out some buggering about) is only a AIM
messanger and she uses messanger as nice as ichat is it's not going to
help if her friends use messanger, or skpe etc..
That may or
may not be important.

Cheers,

Chris
