Will there ever be a Y! meesenger with voice that works with windows mobile? Yahoo Go is nice, but isn’t much more than pointers to mobile specific websites, and a messaging system that sucks. I use it on a PDA with BT and Wireless connection. The old Mobile version of AIM is an even better alternative to Y! messenger on mobile devices.

maybe because of the new GUI. If the Yahoo Messenger Developer Team decide to only support Vista Operating Systems then there will be no way to run it on Microsoft Windows XP. I want to run this on XP because i think Vista completly sucks. I like the Windows XP Theming not the Vista Interfacing.. besides Vista uses alot of memory and will probably require something like a Dual Quadro PC to get the best performance out of this. Its a shame the XP Theming was not supported on Vista its a big let down.

Yahoo Messenger for Vista will be cool anyway. Lets just hope i can run it on Windows XP because its the best OS around.

yea yea Yahoo Team! its a new Product. Dont people get excited about when a new Product is released and think they always have to be a first there? alot of people think that and want to benefit from that Product. Now getting back on the Vista “Subject” i dont think i will be using it until Microsoft fix its bugs and supports the Windows XP Framework.

nice chatting see you guys around.

Hi,

If the new version of the messenger is based on WPF and .NET 3.0, shouldn’t I be ablr to run it on windows XP with the .NET framework installed?

Why does everyone keep saying that this is only for the Vista operating system?

A while back ago, Yahoo servers were F’ed up in a way so that nobody could send private messages to each other. But could chat in chat rooms just fine.

And the odd thing about this was that the chatroom bots were still able to pm everyone freely with their spam messages. This led me to suspect that a vast majority of chatroom bots actually come from Yahoo itself. If so, I’m not sure if Yahoo creates bots to help with revenue, or to track people by looking at their ignore list (maybe only certain bots are in certain rooms), or to ensure no room is empty since not many would go to an empty room.

Yeah its a bit dissapointing.. A lot of hype but its functionaly getting worse..

I like chatting. But lately I can’t using Yahoo.. (Get it… I can’t CHAT… on Yahoo Chat,) And no amount of announcements and corporate munchy meetings changes that fact. Yahoo Chat is not a functioning chat and messaging system.

Oh well, its a big ol net, perhaps its time to pack our bags and move on..

Quote: “Yahoo! Messenger is embracing the new Windows Vista operating system.” …and forsaking loyal users..

Quote: “From what I saw at the show, 2007 promises to be a great year for Yahoo! ” …great, glad you are having fun, so far for ychat users 2007 has sucked… BIGTIME!!.

I’m having terrible trouble connecting to chat rooms to..I’m waiting anything up to 5 minutes to get into a room before I get ‘Invalid User’, ‘Login to chat took longer than expected’ or some other message come up before I have to try again..I’m wasting all my chat time just trying to get into a room!

And while I’h here..when I eventualy do get into a room I generaly find it 90 percent full of pay bots..enough to drive me out of the room I just spent 5 minutes trying to get into!! Can you not do anything about these menaces?

It’s all very well Yahoo being free and developing new software etc etc but if the current system and software don’t work what’s the point??..you’re driving me away to places like PalTalk..I’d rather pay and have something that works than use a freebie that just isn’t up to scratch and most of it’s customers are damned bots!

Yahoo Messenger used to be good back in the build 5/6x days but since the link up with Windows Messenger its going downhill fast and the brakes need to be put on before it crashes completely.

The chat servers and entry into rooms for the past 5 days has been nothing but pitiful, took 28 trys to just get messenger to connect to chat. For wanting to better our chat experience all the time you sure do like to make it hit rock bottom as well. Yahoo! need to have a service status page like MSN to let users be aware of your server issues and planned technical and network updates. Now that yahoo and MSN are scratching each others backs i’m sure you can learn something from them.
