It so began that when i first installed the latest Microsoft Windows OS, Vista, everything looked pretty. Other than the applications which had the same old interface, the OS itself looked great. It was then I found that there was a new Yahoo messenger especially made for Vista. I had previously been using the beta version of the normal messenger and it had quite a large number of bugs and would crash every now and then. So I decided to take the plunge and try out the newer version.
The first and most important thing that you would notice about this version is the lovely interface. It blends well with the OS theme and everything matches nicely. I wanted to login again and again especially for the beautiful login window and the animation that shows when it connects. The main messenger window and the chat window looked pretty good too.
It has the ability to change the theme color to various other options but i like the default black color much better than others. I loved the animation they show when a voice chat is being performed. The emoticons were nice and easy to use.
There were a few downsides too. The most important turn off was that the video chat was not available in this version as of now. So I had to use the older version once in a while whenever I wanted to use my webcam. Then the animated dummies who do those funny and insulting things that were available in the previous version was not available.
Overall I quite liked this version but I was expecting a fully working version and also something with the pretty interface that this one has combined with the simplicity of Google talk application.
Unfortunately I found that this version especially for Vista has been stopped for download from its site and that they are working on a one application for all OS. Just hope that it matches or exceeds the looks of this version.
