Skype 2.5 for Mac and Windows Live Messenger 8.1 officially released

Two voice calling clients have been updated lately. Skype which officially released the version 2.5 for Mac and Windows Live Messenger which hit the 8.1 milestone.
The Skype 2.5 for Mac was already good in its beta version; the final version just enables users to send text messages to any mobile phone in the world, and Mac users can use Skype to hold conference calls with up to nine other people. It requires the power of a Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
For Windows Live Messenger, the version 8.1 was matched with the launch of the Windows Vista operating system. Why? You guessed it, the instant messenger is now Vista-optimized (thanks to beta testers who had to cope with OS compatibility.) Its new features includes SMS sending and roaming identities, that allows users to hang out on different clients without loosing their display name, picture and personal message. And as always with Microsoft, new version also means new avatars.

I wonder if there will ever be live messenger for mac…microsoft messenger for mac is greatly crippled as compared to the windows version. thanks for the update about skype 2.5
But, a big boo hoo for the skype website, as when I clicked check for update on my skype 2.0.0.6, it took me to a page that said you already have the latest version of skype. why not try these if you`re looking for something new. Guess its just one of their stupid marketing gimmicks.
