I've used Yahoo as my primary chat program for years, mostly because nearly everyone has a Yahoo ID, but if I'm going to fire up the cam, MSN blows Yahoo outta the park HANDS DOWN for speed AS WELL AS picture quality!
I can't imagine anyone who's used both arguing with me on this.
Granted, is stinks as a messenger with it's limited text features, zero privacy, (unable to log in invisibly if you plan to actually CHAT) and lame backgrounds, but the voice feature doesn't have the lag that Yahoo can't seem to improve.
Yahoo takes first as the best chat program in my book for their in-window gaming, photo sharing, text options, audibles, IMvironments, (though I'm still waiting for them to bring Yahoo Fighter back) privacy, music and a host of other significant features, but the camming is the absolute WORST! I have DSL and I swear my frame changes about 10 times in a minute!
I resisted jumping onto MSN until I started my web cam that first time, now I've got everyone following right behind me.
