Yahoo! Messenger is a popular instant messaging client and protocol provided by Yahoo!. Yahoo! Messenger is provided free of charge and can be downloaded and used with a generic "Yahoo! ID" which also allows access to other Yahoo! services, such as Yahoo! Mail, where users can be automatically notified when they receive new email. Yahoo! offers PC to PC telephone, file transfers, webcam hosting, text messaging service, and chat rooms in various categories. In addition to instant messaging features similar to those offered by ICQ, it also offers (on Microsoft Windows) many unique features such as: IMVironments (customizing the look of Instant Message windows), address-book integration and Custom Status Messages. It was also the first major IM client to feature BUZZing and music-status. Another recently added feature is customized avatars.

English please
I've been using Yahoo Messenger since the original version and I never once had that issue. BUT if you're on Yahoo Messenger and you have some friends on your list using Windows Live Messenger and you switch to invisible, they'll still see you as online. Some people need to realize that you can messege back and forth between the two, but not everything works yet. Microsoft and Yahoo have made that perfectly clear.
About the Vista version. All I know was that the beta was suppossed to come out back in June and nothing ever came out.
I think this is just a big fix for that webcam issue that was talked about a couple days ago.
And what's with the let'smakefourwordsintoone ?
I guess it will be ready for Vienna
