the yahoo interop looks like its gonna be in Yahoo messenger 8 from what i see as it has a choice when you add a contact whether its Microsoft LCS or Yahoo Messenger .. the public wont b able to test it i dont think the interop tho, i'll have to see what i can findout
Here's a Screenshot of the Contact ADD area

I added myself (hotmail id) in Yahoo. But nothing happened for the past 5 mins :(

Yeah, the WLM beta chat (which only a group of selected testers were invited to) said Yahoo interop beta will start very soon. They specifically said beta, but don't know if it will be public beta or anything.

The current version of WLM (Final! :D) is not compatible with Yahoo Messenger as far as I know. I would guess that version 8 of Yahoo Messenger will probably be something to do with compatibility with WLM. I suppose they will release a major update for WLM when they get round to it.

they will to more likely to 8.1, , i reckon thats why WLM8 final has a higher Buld Number than previous  finals

Memory usage of Yahoo Messenger 8 with the contact List window Open an an Conversational Window opened also, i was impressed, its around the 54MB Mem Usage

Nagamasa proudly declared he has installed it.

Nagamasa produly demands pop-ups to tell you if there is an update....which is why he hates YM.

When it intergrates and Yahoo! Messenger has polygamy, I'll have 6 accounts at the same time!!!

LOL @ the inconsistency in naming.

Yahoo!7 Messenger with Voice (something something...)
Yahoo!7 News
Yahoo7! 360
Yahoo7! Answers

And, oh, on the other note, I thought AIM was bloated enough to make me disgusted, Yahoo competes with AIM actually.
RE: Yahoo Messenger 8 Beta released by RaptorX on 06-24-2006 at 10:24 AM

I can't install Yahoo Messenger because a error comes up everytime. It also happens with the Yahoo Widget Engine.


RE: Yahoo Messenger 8 Beta released by Hank on 06-24-2006 at 10:55 AM

what Yahoo7 is, Channel 7 ( owned by kerry Stokes) an Australian Millionaire/Billionaire went into partnership with yahoo, just like ninemsn an microsoft did, so thats why its still got yahoo7 (blahh)
