RE: Yahoo Messenger 7.0 Beta Released! by Chestah on 05-18-2005 at 06:00 AM

half the features look copied from other clients in my opinion :P Voicemail looks good if it does what i think it should do but their serveres might be in for a bit of whiplash ;)

I love how companies have called this calling someone as in phone call, when it is simply a audio conversation..

RE: Yahoo Messenger 7.0 Beta Released! by RaceProUK on 05-18-2005 at 05:31 PM

Y!IM left stuff on my PC when I removed it. Some of it doesn't uninstall, even when you try separately.


RE: Yahoo Messenger 7.0 Beta Released! by Chris4 on 05-18-2005 at 08:50 PM

Havn't had Y!IM for ages.. but I decided to download v7 BETA to see how it's going. Certainly got alot more features then I last saw.

I like the radio the best :) I wish MSN Messenger 7 had an intergrated Radio

But I think i'll stick with MSN Messenger 7 :)


RE: Yahoo Messenger 7.0 Beta Released! by mwe99 on 05-18-2005 at 08:51 PM

Yeah! MSN definitely should have a radio, possibly running from MSN Music. I use Yahoo Messenger for the radio and MSN for chatting. The BETA version does look good and I might use it more often but still gonna stick with primary MSN!

I really like that stealth thing.  Is there anyway to do that on MSN?  A plugin or something?

sounds weird - stealth - whats that got to do with blocking someone.

Yahoo! Language = Weird (N)
MSN Language = Easy to understand (Y)

Well stealth does mean like to do something and avoid detection, so it has a lot to do with it really.

That's only because we've got used to the terms used with MSN Messenger. If it were the other way round, we might find 'blocking' wierd.
