Huh. That's not half bad, really. Shame I don't really use Y! to talk to more than two people. No point to use a single protocol client for that...

am i the only one who is getting a weird slow reaction from the main preferences menu? jw cuz that is the only performance issue i am having. what performance problems are u having Intelman?

Scrolling in it is slow, animations are slow, like popout windows and whatnot. I think it is Microsoft's fault, Switcher has the same issues.

Finally - after a 1-and-a-half year teaser on that website!

I like it, but it needs work.

Preferences screen - I was like what the hell???? But then I realized that it's a Beta, after all .... the first beta.

Hmm methinks Yahoo Mess for Vista is gonna be 9.5 or to that matter lol.

      In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
