So the Yahoo/MSN IM interoperability is operational, with a twist: if you’ve downloaded 3.0 beta 1 (for OS X, don’t know or care about Windows, as you should know by now) before they activated it, you have to download it again, even though it’s still called 3.0 beta 1. Okay, sure, whatever.
Anyway, I’m a bit puzzled as to why you have to declare, using a tiny, inconvenient select thingy, whether you’re adding an MSN or Yahoo contact (MSN contacts have @’s and Yahoo contacts don’t, right?), and… well, I couldn’t get it to work. Neither Adium nor Mercury received authorization requests, and both users appear offline from Yahoo! Messenger. From what I’ve read, it’s quite possible that it wouldn’t even work with MSN Messenger for Windows, but only the latest version of Windows Live Messenger. That’s too bad, because Yahoo! Messenger for Mac really seems like a pleasant piece of software.
