    I got my MacBook yesterday, and I installed the Microsoft Messenger for Mac today.

    However, I can't sign in! =/

    Here's the error I get;

    Code:
    Either date and time settings are incorrect, or the digital certificate file is not valid or installed on your computer. If date and time are correct, see your network administrator to verify that your digital certificate file is valid and installed.
    Can someone please help me figure this out?

    I was under the impression I wouldn't get problems like this with a Mac... =/

    I think this Digital Certificate file is used to verify that it is a safe download from Microsoft or something like that.

    Anyway, to get off topic, MAC IS AWESOME! After using Windows for like 10-12 years I can say that my Mac is so great. All these features on Leopard (I'm barely using all of them) just make the Mac so much better. At first I got my Mac and I was looking to download Vista ASAP. I did that, but my subscription ran out so I thought, "Damn I guess I have to find another copy I could use, or maybe I'll go to XP. I'll use Leopard for now. :(" Then as I begin to use it, I slowly see that it can do every thing I ever wanted PC to do and more. The only problem I've encountered so far with Mac vs Windows is gaming, and that is barely an issue for me. I really play only Blizzard games and games on Steam. Blizzard games are compatible with Mac, so that's not a problem. Then there's games on Steam like Counter-Strike, which is an FPS, and to me is more preferable to play on the desktop. So basically Mac is not as bad as people think they are, maybe the older ones had problems, but I haven't had any real experience with them, and the one I have (Macbook ---) is a very satisfying notebook.

    Yeah, unless everyone else you know is using the Microsoft Messenger, then go with Adium.
