Yahoo Messenger for Vista Preview

Published on January 9, 2007 By Island Dog In 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!
