Yahoo Messenger for Vista Preview

Tuesday, January 9, 2007 by Island Dog | Discussion: Vista Software

In one of Brad's CES articles yesterday he mentioned how Yahoo was showing off Yahoo Messenger for Vista.  I was checking out the preview site and I have to say it looks very impressive.  I was never a big fan of Yahoo Messenger, but this could possibly make me switch.

A couple of the highlights are....

  • Use the integrated Yahoo! Messenger Sidebar gadget to keep up with the friends that matter most
  • Also add Windows Live™ Messenger friends to your contact list to see when they're online and IM them
  • Keep conversations organized by dragging and dropping them into one tabbed window

Read more about it at the site below, and there is also a video preview for you to check out also.

I was lucky enough to be at the demo with Brad and I must say the Yahoo messenger looks cool. I was skeptical at first because messenger services are pretty common and not terribly compelling to me, but their interface was sharp and they offered a number of extras that simply make the whole thing seem very well put together. Their demo changed my mind from negative to positive (although I might not immediate jump to using it), so kudos to Yahoo!
