    "I expected more from Yahoo!"

    April 30, 2006  |   By testing.1.2.3

    Pros

    Loved the emotions which were used (even better than MSN's emotions).

    It has a clean interface which is not too confusing.

    Came up with the idea of talking to your contacts when you were online - which I should add Windows Messenger Live Beta copied.

    Cons

    Slowed my 1GB worth of RAM down big time. Then when I was 'springing cleaning' PC last week I unistalled it and now my computer is running smoothly again. You could say it was as I was spring cleaning my PC it made it work faster but for me it was Yahoo! Messenger which was slowing it down.

    Not many people use Yahoo! Messenger compared to MSN.
