Trillian doesn't take up 10K? Are you kidding or just flat out lying?

Trillian is a HOG. You do realize 10K can't even begin to load up the images of the skin don't you? (this is just with 1 yahoo account, 1 msn accont and 1 aim account, no other plugins)

"Mem Usage" column is useless. It doesn't actually tell how  much memory is allocated by that particular program. And thats what's important. Notice the how much memory is free after killing trillian.exe? Notice it freed up what was in VM Mem, not Mem Usage.

And just for the record, Google Talk(googletalk.exe) doens't take up all that much.

well I like it but, it has a LONG WAY to go in order to compete with Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger and AOL Instant Mesenger.

I appreciate the minimalistic interface and everything but, we need more features :)

Skins (not my personaly favorite feature but it would be nice)

Smiley icons (hopefuly skinnable)

rich text for messaging (fonts, bold, italics, etc.)

avatars

etc.

But I'd be stupid to believe Google wasn't already considering these things. Time will tell!

Just taking a look at Google talk with reshack and by the looks of it they are planning on adding Functionality to work with other jabber servers.

Edit: You can also get bold text by putting a * before and after the text that you want to be bold.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
