0 night_stalker_z Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Pidgin. Uses less memory than Digsby and Trillian but doesn't have voice or video. Miranda takes too long to customse.

0 ViperAFK Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 what are the main benefits of digsby over trillian (astra) ? ;) It's skin doesn't look repulsive. Also its email integration is way better.

0 SMELTN Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I used to be a Pidgin fan, but after digsby came out, I switched to it and haven't looked back.. Only problem I have with Digsby is the spam installer, but you can get around that easily. Trillian: nothing but bloatware now. Miranda: takes way to long to set it up right. Pidgin: Great nothing wrong with it. Digsby: Best out of these. Easy to set up, has a TON of features and skins Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/805618-best-multi-platform-im-client-for-windows/#findComment-591370044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
