WooSH Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 i cant believe you guys are still using Desktop Applications for things such as IM. i usually use Meebo, or eBuddy. they save all chat logs instantly and can be accessed anywhere. u have all convos in one windows/tab and you can pop them out to your desktop if need be. their take less resources, theyre more responsive and faster. why would you want that on your desktop? heh. maybe with this look i mite move to this again.

Google Talk desktop client has great voip, can't get that through the browser yet. Plus it has file transfer, which you can't get in a web client yet.

Victor V. Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I used to upgrade messenger every chance I got, this was around the 6.0-7.5 days, but as soon as 8.0 came out (Windows Live Messenger), I completely lost interest. It's just got too bloated and filled with too many useless features that I'm never going to want or use (winks, packs, crap like that). The only good thing they've added recently has been off-line messaging.I wish they'd just make it more efficient, add more USEFUL stuff instead of glossy, shiny extras I could live without =\ MessPatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore Max Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Seems they are going to get a single UI style for both Messenger and Hotmail Desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme $niper Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Looks pretty slick. I hope they revamp more of the conversation window though, since it looks just about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
