Meh, I'm testing it. It looks good, not great or anything because it lacks of options.

But if they improve it a little (it says Beta in the logo

) they might come up with a nice little program. Btw, I like it because it's not bloated.... with anything!

(dumb joke)

To me it seems more of a business program with the limited features but yes it is obviously being developed as we speak

this looks very professional to me, a lil to much tbh, most IM features arent really available, but it does have tabbed convos and some crazy neat appearences, also, coming from google, im sure we'll have less unavailable time than MSN.

ppl who want to try it oud, plz pm me with ur email

RE: Google Talk is LIVE!

I think it is great.

It has only what is NEEDED. Thats the ability to chat.

MSN7 was bloated, and MSN is wanting me to update to 7.5, which is even more bloated. The only reason I stuck with MSN so long, was MsgPlus - Patchou carefully thought about the features he was going to add, and has added useful features (I reckon Patchou should make his own Messenger system

). MSN have just bunged in a load of "fun" stuff that just adds loads of bugs at the same time (ie: those annoying winks, the ability to replace your text with emoticons, flashing/moving/animated bits all over the show).

In my view, Google have put only what is needed in Google Talk. Although one feature I think they defintely need is emoticons.

I used it for a while, but it is really boring, nobody that I know has it, so there is nobody to chat to, it is a very simple program to use, and the user interface is very soft... I like it.
