Whoever said this isn't the new AIM 6.0 is mistaken.

I'm the one who posted the news.. and here ya go, I got it from an official AIM Programmer's blog on AOL.

sweet :) now I'm happy again lol. I was really hoping this would, indeed, be the direction the nw AIM was heading to.

Still though, I can't wait till this goes final. :D

**** YEAH!!!

I've been using AIM since it was introduced to me back in 2000... been using it ever since. I even tried other chat programs like yahoo, msn & icq. I don't even think they're as good as AIM.

As I said, regardless of that blog that was posted, this is NOT AIM 6. It has been confirmed by official beta staff and by the staffer running this test. This may develop into a different test, but Triton, as it stands will be packaged with another test currently in beta and released in conjunction with that.

Could you be any more vague.

The program looks like aim, it feels like aim, and it acts like aim. By god, I call it AIM.

can you show us this confirmation?

Its not 6.0...

It's a beta version of a completely different software package...

Version 0.1.12

Not even version 1.

If you read the AIM dev's blog, you'd know that he said it's a new AIM from the ground up. That said, it makes perfect sense that the version number is 0.1.12.

Not to tick you off or anything, but can you show me proof? You just edited with out even proving anything. I had an offical AIM team member/coder say it was AIM 6.0 Beta 1. You have someone random dude who just says its not. So the version number is 0.1.12 who cares? Have you ever heard of test builds and code names. Just because it doesn't have 6 in it doesn't mean its not the real thing.

I'm not saying I'm absolutly right or know it all, but come on, it has AIM written all over it. And if you even read the site, it says all the features from 5.9 haven't been implented yet because its being rewritten from scratch. How can it be a brand new program if it's written from scratch? They will be implented as the beta moves on. So, really, do your homework before messing with something.

I can't believe you guys are all beside yourself over this thing.  It may have had a nice facelift and some features additions and changes, but there's still one huge problem.  I'll stick with Trillian.

Considering it is from AOL, yea, we are beside ourselves. It isn't often that AOL does something right like this, and this is the first beta. It shows they actually listen too.

This is nice.

To be honest. I use AIM 5.5 and I have DeadAIM 4.5. I get logging, no ads, tabbed windows and a fast interface. It seems to just work and as the poster above me said.. IT OWNS! . The only issue I have with it is the looks. AIM is so ugly - and maybe that's deliberate? Maybe they don't want to deter people with an overly cluttered/new interface. The aesthetics is my only problem with my deadaim+5.5 setup. Other than that, I haven't found anything that works right.

This Triton is nice looking. However, where are the HTML profiles? lol. That's the reason why I never switched to gaim/miranda/trillian.

Btw Bawx.. what do you mean custom BList? :p

its a very early beta. breathe homey and consider the fact that, like timdorr said, debugging is probably on and such.

It is such a drastic change from the original AIM that they probably felt it could not be labeled off as another AIM 5.x

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
