In short, to streamline its operations, Microsoft is shutting down apps that were not as popular. We will continue to support those apps with broad consumer appeal including News, Weather, Sports and Money, which will be made available as apps on Windows 10 and will remain cross platform We regularly evaluate our business to ensure we’re focused on the areas where our users find the most value. Microsoft said the following about shutting down these apps: The MSN Travel app will be discontinued on September 28, 2015.The MSN Health & Fitness app on Windows, iOS and Android devices will be discontinued on November 1, 2015.The MSN Food & Drink app on Windows, iOS and Android devices will be discontinued on September 28, 2015.MSN Messenger is a decent if basic IM client for anyone with a Mac OS under 10.3. Not only is it more secure, but it will also offer more features and a sleeker interface. MSN Messenger is sufficient as a basic IM client, but we'd recommend upgrading your version of OS X and updating to the latest version of Messenger for Mac. While it's fairly easy to check your Hotmail account thanks to the Mail button at the top of the interface, sending files and images to other users can be a bit slow. New conversations open up in a new window, which you can be moved around anywhere on the screen. It is fitted with all the basic functions you'd want from Messenger and the application lets you organize your contacts into different groups, set your status, and use emoticons, etc. However, the rest of it is pretty much as you'd expect. This seems criminal I know, but Microsoft has seen fit only to allow those willing to upgrade to the corporate edition to use a webcam with it.

Firstly, like the latest version of Messenger for Mac, you should know that it doesn't work with webcams.
