looks interesting, but I'm a bit dissapointed that it's not WLM that comes out with Vista messenger first...

And if they had, everyone + dog would be screaming *monopoly* or *anti-trust*. Part of being Microsoft is largely being given *disincentives* to compete in the area of free products such as IM software.

I just downloaded the preview of YM for Vista, and it does have some rather nice features (even compared to YM 9.0 beta, which preceded it on the same PC). There is a bit of a learning curve, but it should be pretty interesting learning the new Hoo and putting it through its paces.

Performance & RAM usage is very bad on my P4 3 Ghz system with GeForce 6600GT & 1.5 GB RAM, running Windows Vista.

They removed so many features, like Photoshare & webcam....right now this is just like Pidgin, a good text only IM Client. It's also quite buggy right now....

waiting for the final version :), I have uploaded the offline installer to my Skydrive

no 64bit Vista... what a bunch of crap.. somebody should ask Microsoft what exactly was the point of x64 Windows if we are running apps in 32bit mode or they are just not compatible with x64 bit Windows.

I don't know how much Microsoft has to do with this. I mean from what I can tell you have to go out of your way to get a program to not work in 64 bit.

As for why does so much run in 32 bit mode? Ask third party developers. MS has nothing to do with that, Adobe won't even do Flash for 64 bit.

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
