Yahoo Messenger for Windows Vista (Preview)

Here's what the new Yahoo messenger will bring along for Vista users

Features

Tabbed Conversations:

Ever since tabbed browsing came into existence, I had been desperately waiting for chat applications to come up with the same. While Google Talk's concatenated windows somewhat does the trick, the Yahoo Messenger Vista gets it right with its true tabbed interface.



You can easily switch between tabs by hitting the Tab key on your keyboard. You can even drag-and-drop separate chat windows into tabs or vice-versa.

Color changer:

A new color-palette icon lets you instantly change the color of your Yahoo Messenger. You can choose between 8 different colors. To preview the colors, one has to simply hover the cursor over them.



Secondly, each chat window can be differentiated by choosing a different color according to your convenience.

People now are thinking in the Right direction.. they no more wanted colourful vista.. they are better comforted with winxp,sp2 itself... similar case yahoo! msgr was best then, but see now the complexity is increased, yahoo mail and msgr sucks and simple Gmail and gtalk is good.. bt gmail2.0 is starting to suck...

looks like u know only one word, sucks!! How can u say the techtree word verification sucks??? Yahoo messenger packs great deal of features that gtalk can only dream now. I guess your opinion, u guessed it, sucks...

The new Messenger for Vista is a real dissapointment. Works very slow, to few features even for a preview. In this rithem, when are they gonna finish it?

I like the new yahoo messenger except it does have a flaw, it keeps going off line and you get an error message. Hopefully the finial version will have the bugs fixed.

I also got the opportunity to test this version, and believe me, according to yahoo it's the beta version but i'll rate it as alpha. There's so much needs to be done. Most of the features are missing in settings options likes alerts and sounds, and message settings. Leave all problems behind, the main problem is it's really really really slow. People who have been using messenger for ages, will use it only once and then will immediately uninstall it. Atleast it's in my case. I'll rate it as the worst development of messenger from yahoo according to the expectations of users. And as Rohan said, let us hope that this preview version gets some real smooth and fast features and working process in the final version.
