First of all, Yahoo Messenger for Mac has a new brushed metal look. Cool! I love the new design!

Other new features including Avatars, sounds, and display images. Yes, Yahoo Messenger for Mac supports Webcam now!

Plus, Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live (MSN) Messenger is joining IM services together. You can chat with your MSN friends via the new Yahoo Messenger for Mac!

Actually I think the UI design is called the Unified theme. Apple’s UI is a bit mixed up right now - some windows are Brushed Metal, some others are Unified.

Anyway, I think the Yahoo messenger for Mac can chat with Windows Live Messenger users. I got an offline message from my friend on WLM, but haven’t chat directly with them yet. Also, it looks like Microsoft Messenger for Mac won’t be able to support the inter-network chat.
