what’s wrong with people these days? you complain too much about how long you have to wait for the release and then rant about how disappointing it turned out. there’s a reason why it’s a preview version… i don’t think the messenger team are magicians who could just code an entire instant messaging application with all your requests in just 3 mos. cut them some slack. fine people waited for 332 days, so what? the guys in the team worked on the application for a longer time. yahoo said it was coming yeah.. but they never mentioned when.. so people don’t have to complain. :)) but anyway that’s most people do.

No easy to use invisibility options… you are either invisible to all contacts or none. The only way to be available to some contacts and not others is to group your contacts and then choose to Permanently appear off line to the users you don’t want to see you at that moment.

What ever happened to being able to sign in as invisible and then click on specific contacts and choosing to appear online?

I’m not too impressed.

Although, despite the major invisibility shortcoming, the fact that there isn’t any ads and other crap you don’t need is nice.

I just can’t understand how Yahoo is coming with a cool Vista messenger (that use WPF the new MS UI programming technology) before Microsoft…

Isn’t it a little ironic?

Owh really?
I didn’t notice that.
The F3 function is just for current chat?
Seems like a lot more they save until full release.

When will this eye candy craze stop? I’m still using the default windows skin, probably the best UI ever made to this point.
I hope Trillian will come out soon .

Dear Yahoo,

Please make a version of Yahoo Unlimited for Linux.

Thank you,
A lot of us

PS - I stopped using locally-installed chat clients once I found Meebo.com

Hopefully this puts a little fire under Microsoft’s ass to get moving on some much needed upgrades to MSN.

New yahoo messanger for vista blends nicely with the theme and graphics. I am waiting for google also to launch their similar gtalk for vista.

What’s with the ‘close’ buttons being so far away from the top right corner of each window? They’ve never heard of Fitts’s law?

Looks like a lot cluttered from the interface. I don’t wish to see the plugins and “Add contact” buttons all the time. I never use the plugins and don’t add contacts all the time to need a button right there. Please add an option to disable this, like in 8.1

The same thing with Pricing or whatever is that under my status. I never use services from Y! that I have to pay for. And even if, the services are not available in my country. This was also a problem in 8.1.

As with any new Beta software, Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 is not perfect but seems they’ve got most of the major bugs out(or may be not).
Good luck !
