  "Wish I never upgraded from AIM 6"

  by zelrio on December 2, 2009

  Pros: Faster download time than previous version.

  Cons: Horrible interface.
  Added entirely unnecessary bullcrap that I don't want like Facebook and Twitter.
  Loads slower.

  Summary: I can't even find a way to downgrade back to 6. read more

  "AIM 7 sucks"

  by laceysusan on December 2, 2009

  Pros: More colorful choices for display.

  Cons: I lost the ability to see the animation on my Superbuddy icons which is more than half the fun. So I am now considering switching to Digsby or Meebo.

  Summary: I hate it when a software upgrade results in a loss of functionality. Don't take away features - my biggest gripe with all software. read more

  "AOL 7 Works"

  by Backyard images on November 5, 2009

  Pros: AOL does what I want--instant message and send files. I don't get into all the extra bells and whistles. For those jobs, AOL works.

  Cons: All the bells and whistles. In fact, it took over my internet homepage and I had to take time to figure out how to get my homepage back. That really irritated me! If I had wanted AOL as my homepage, I would have made it my homepage to begin with.

  Summary: It works for my purposes, but it has too many presumptive "cool" actions tht I not only don't use, but don't want on my computer. read more

  "Nice way of quick communication"

  by psychothunder on November 4, 2009

  Pros: I can pretty much do what I want and then some.

  Cons: So far truthfully none.

  Summary: I pretty much have it because my niece asked me to download it so we could talk on the IM or mobile which is a real plus. read more
