  Unfortunately you can’t using mac messenger. You will need to download another application that will connect to the Live network and that supports video.

  There are two choices:

  aMSN
  http://www.amsn-project.net/

  and
  Mercury Messenger
  http://www.mercury.to/

  They don’t look as good as Windows Live Messenger, but they are free and you can use video on the Live network with them.

  Good Luck.

  to awnser your uuh second question egarding paralells and since you dont allow email i have to do it here

  if you buy parralells you need to provide your own copy of windows and ms office as well and use parraleles to install windows

  you can download Q which is free or virtual box also free but you still need to have a copy of windows lying around

  you can try wine ( wine is not an emulator ) which does not need windows at all but its difficult to configure and can be picky im sure office xp works though

  or you can buy ms office mac student and home edition for 139 instead of the pro version for a suck in your breath 539

  the choice is yours

  now i got that out of the way ;p
