The new video features might come in handy someday, but since I seldom do any video chat i'm neutral about that. On the other hand, I read through the comments and I agree with what Alex(comment written on the 9th of September) had to say - i'd like most of those features. Hopefully you'll be able to implement some of his ideas :) Hi

It would seem so. Captcha is useless and should be removed. Bots have now pretty much overrun every room. Its a real shame. Sarah,

Its a real shame.

Messenger Power User :-) Please let me ask again, are there any news about the YM Power User Program? I'd really like to know if there are future plans for the program. A real confirmation would be great! (I'd prefer Sarah Bacon to confirm hence she is the only one who knows what is going on) Thank you. Lisa is a Yahoo! Messenger Power User :-)

Yahoo should consider consulting now with a software security expert as the spambot and booter problem is easily a solvable solution, has been for years. I also have a few other improvements I would like to see, Yahoo Messenger is hard on resources, just watching Y! Messenger make over 1000 registry request in a second is a good indication, so I would love to see future Y! Messenger code cleaned etc. Other then that it's not bad. Does Y10 still come with spambots and booters

Hello. I would like to show you a concept image I made in spare time. While this concept is not very yahoo'y, I think it will give you an idea of where I'd like to see Yahoo go one day, warning, it is quite a large image. http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd7/Alex_Nova92/IMConceptWIP.jpg Allow me to be clear in saying this is NOT what I expect any Yahoo UI to look like, as I said, it's not very yahoo'y, however, I would like you to consider the concepts held with in the image, such as Aero effects, combined buddylist and chat windows, so on and so forth. @ Sarah B.

I think you guys would gain market share if you could do this. It would be cool if you could design it similar to the Vista version, which was really cool!

Messenger? If you are, that version does not support any voice features. You'll need to install the U.S. version at http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/winbeta to get voice features.
