well.....Trillian is a universial messenger....do you have people on other IM networks that you would like to talk to?...like AIM, Yahoo and such?...if so, than go for trillian. If you use the MSN service only...then there is no point in going over to trillian...

Me too. Also, I am adding some questions with yours mate :)

Is it fast?

What about resource usage?

UI?

Free?

Anything else... ? :p

if you are talking about trillian....yes...trillian is very fast, and use about the same resource as MSN messenger. They offer a Free version but it doesn't support Video and Audio chat and the UI looks nice...plus you can donlwoad extra skins for your Trillian..:)

So, in a few words, use trillian and leave MSN Messenger installed in case you want to use Audio and Video, am I right?  :p

Hehe, thanks for that. The most worying part is about the power usage, since my pc is ... :whistle: ... crap lol with that RAM. That's why I asked that immediately ;) Thanks :) I am going to try Trillian :)

By the way, there's also something called Miranda?! Is that the same as Triallina or what?

As much as I like Trillian, if you're looking for something free, fast and light on resources don't overlook Miranda (http://www.miranda-im.org/). I've recently given it another try and I'm loving it. It can be as clean and as simple as you wan't or you can make it look as good as you want. Also, all of the plugins and themes are free unlike Trillian!

yes...there is something called Miranda, it's also a universial messenger and is the best one in my opinion (I use Miranda). It is VERY light on the resource and if you set it up right, it looks amazing..however...it takes some time to get use to the interface and also setting it up...but if you have the time, look up some threads on Neowin (there are plenty) and set it up yourself...you won't regred it...:)

I'm asking about trillian, cause I'm a little disapointed with MSN 7. I think they have much things that are useless and it's pretty heavy application.

I know that there're patchs to improve msn, but... it's still msn. At least could you recommend alternatives to MSN? good ones! :p

i use trillian all the time

msn messenger is crap

because the beta version and how they forced u to upgrade from lower version to 6.2 or some v higher because of security biz

i got a small laptop which is like for messengin, only got 333mhz of cpu and it runs laggy as hell using the upgraded msn

and trillian runs pretty smooth on it

therefore msn definately requires more resource, cpu and etc than trillian

also this is a free version of trillian

therefore there is an advantage

mikrosoft doesn't make good program anyways.... well know in the security field..

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
