Mercury is a Java Based MSN client.
With Mercury you can do the same things as with your normal messenger:
* Talk to friends
* Change your nickname and status
* Add a display picture (also know as avatar)
* Send files through the MSN server (for people with a firewall etc..) or
direct
* Away messages, if you are online, busy or whatever you can always have
an away message.
* Play games (Tic Tac Toe and Connect4 only at the moment)
* Watch the webcam of your friends (Mercury auto-saves these sessions on
the disk and can convert them to Quicktime movies)
* Allow other people to watch your webcam (= video only)
* Audio and Video conference is implemented (both sending and receiving)
but still a beta feature
Mercury also has some MSN7 specific features, and some additional features that
your normal messenger doesn't have, for example: port forwarding for faster file
transfer, handling of more accounts, having different MSN names for each
contact, etc.
