I have a macbook and the only msn messenger available for me (that I know of) is this really old PoS that doesn't even work half of the time.

 

After hearing about pidgin, I ran to their site to download the mac version, but subsequently got extremely confused on their "download information" page where they walk you through the actions. What the hell? It's rocket science to me. @_@ I thought it was going to be a simple download and install, but it .... it doesn't seem that way at all.

Yea I've noticed that about the Mac version as well. I installed it about a year ago when I was working developing iPhone apps. For Windows and linux the install is pretty easy. Another good one for Mac that is almost identical to Pidgin is Adium (http://adium.im/). This one has a straight forward install AFAIK.
