I have recently installed Apple Safari 3 Beta web browser, and ever since, whenever I close a Messenger conversation window, Messenger for Mac crashes.
I have heard that Safari 3 Beta has messed some things around - is there a workaround? Is Microsoft going to release an update?

That's it, really, at least for the time being. I'm afraid we need to be patient until this problem is fixed; until then, there is nothing that can be done, short of reverting to Safari 2.

...and I know two ways to fix this. One way is downgrading safari to it's previous version (2.x). Other way is to start using another MSN client for mac os x.

I wouldn't the new releases of Safari beta to fix an MSN crash. The crash is occuring because the new Safari uses a newer version of Webkit, which is obviously causing issues for MSN. It's upto the MSN guys to fix things.

Not necessarily. Safari 3.0 is a beta. I would not expect Microsoft to be developing any fixes against a beta but rather develop against a final source code that is not only supported by Apple but also stable and unchanging. Part of running a beta means that things will probably break. If end users don't like the consequences then they should revert back to the supported software until Safari 3.0 is ready.
