Now, you might be wondering why I'm writing about a Mac instant messaging client in this column, even if it does supports OCS. It's another good piece of work by the largely unheralded Macintosh Business Unit (MacBU) at Microsoft. I've been using a beta version of Messenger for Mac 7.0 for a few months now it combines support for OCS audio, video, and enhanced presence with a polished Mac-like interface. The new release, version 7.0, supports Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 and its enhanced presence model. I was stuck with no column topic-until I got an unexpected nugget of good news: permission to disclose that Microsoft is very close to releasing a new version of Microsoft Messenger for Mac. Unfortunately, virtualization interfered, and I was stuck in a ballroom rebuilding virtual machines for my INTERACT2008 sessions during Myerson's address. Myerson is corporate vice president of the Exchange team at Microsoft.
Then I changed my mind and decided to cover Terry Myerson's keynote at the INTERACT2008 event. My original plan this week was to write about Exchange virtualization and why Microsoft won't come out and say what everyone already knows about it.

"So if you want to appear online to everyone but not to your boss Joe, you can set yourself to appear offline to him but online to your friends," she says, although Windows users have been availing themselves of the feature for quite some time. Yahoo's product manager also reveals that the latest version of Messenger for Mac fixes the privacy feature for users wishing to assign individual stealth settings for their friends (pictured above).
