You could do away with it, but it is so great, you have to have it. I regard it as a necessary feature, like having a 'right' click feature. I don't regard voice/video communication as enhanced messaging. what's keeping pidgin from having A/V capabilities anyway? also, offline messages and other IMPORTANT features?Įnhanced messaging is happening on Linux-so no need to worry I don't know ****, but that's what I would imagine we would do. just convert what cheese captures and load it onto msn "signal" in pidgin.heh. Implementing A/V com on msn-pidgin = can't wait. So, I am still undecided on evaluation of A/V communication capabilities of ubuntu based on ekiga/skype cuz I can't use em just yet. ![]() Although, they are still useless for me b/c my webcam doesn't work which not a fault of ubuntu, but nexxtech which does not have drivers for linux. Audio/video communication availibility should be a requirement. audio/video communication should be so easy in ubuntu if it wants to claim itself as leading revolution in technology. Communication by texting is old and not fun. because audio/video communication has become common. "who cares about what MSN has to offer beyond basic features" I agree with you on your previous post about everything except: By the way, does the protocol itself have anything to do with what features it can support, independent of the chat software used to access the protocol? And try to keep the protocol and the chat software seperate. But, after the switch, even though they still can communicate to their friends on the msn protocols, they have lost features of 'msn live messenger' software - such as voice/video chat. It is because they were use to msn as the 'msn live messenger' before their switch to linux since it was one of the best chat messengers in windows. Then, you can understand why people still use the msn protocol. My point was the chat software itself and its features. Again, my point wasn't of a chat software supporting/not supporting protocols. You point out Msn windows chat software not supporting other protocols. I am refering to Msn as 'msn live messenger' - a software that is much better than pidgin in offering more/better features. Using Msn as a protocol is clearly not a problem in linux. ![]() ![]() But, my point is FEATURES, not the protocol itself. You suggest using Pidgin for msn, or other protocol. Why doesn't MSN Windows chat software support Googletalk, ICQ, AIM, MySpace etc etc? Why is it so far behind? Pidgin is multi-protocol supporting many IM's.
