Win Bus is an experimental work-in-progress private chat network What does that mean? Well, you can sign up for an account on the forums then log in with your WinBus forum account in the Win Bus Messenger and join a live chat with various other Winbus users including Lee and myself Win Bus can be used for general chatting, technical support or just to talk with new people. Here's some the current features Win Bus has. Share formatting support between Yahoo Chat and Win Bus, so no need to re-customize your font settings. Voice chat support. Uses a special voice server that allows Win Bus users to use voice chat to chat with other Win Bus users. Create your own rooms. You can create your own rooms with Win Bus. Other standard features like Yahoo's emoticon support, username fade support, iTunes and Winamp support, ignore list. Here's some of the planned features for Win Bus. Private chats that'll allow you and another user or users to join a chat without worrying about anyone else joining. Private messages from and to other Win Bus users. Buddy list that'll allow you to befriend Win Bus users and see their online and offline status.
Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, and MAC with just wine and ie6. Been using winbus on debian linux for near 4 years now and never had one single error or problem.
Cons
The fact that its beta still, it has frequent updates.
Summary
Out of all the private messengers out there, I would only use winbus. It does everything I need in a messenger, and then some.

Hello WinBus users i've noticed in the last few days people have had issues with their voice in WinBus chat, Lee has done all he can do to troubleshoot this issue and we have the datacenter looking into it now but a few users let users from the rooms in their pc's to try to help them if you need support for WinBus you should only let the WinBus assigned Admins help you, it's nice to have people try to help us out and try to tell the users ways to fix things but connecting to a users pc should only be done by the assigned admins for WinBus support
(why would you let anyone let alone these people access your pc remotely on the pretext of them helping you with so called issues with winbus ? ), a very dubious practice and not the sort of advice you would exspect from any admin , would you let a total stranger access to your pc ? , welcome to a botnet .
Very nice little messenger

Pros
Nice clean interface that's skinable to match your desktop. Very easy to use. Nice safe chat rooms.
Cons
I know its BETA, and there coming soon, but webcams would be great.
Summary
All in all a nice little messenger, and chat program. The voice was kinda shakey in the user made rooms, but since they more less fixed that, theres really no complaints from me.
I am very impress with Win Bus Messenger for being new.
