Great application!
calvintijdJune 14, 2011
Pros
Fast, low memory usage, voice chat through Astra, File Transfer with MSN and Astra, Good Twitter support
Cons
Ads (not really a con, you won't see ads in days...), no video/audio chat for MSN & Google Talk
Summary
A must-have application if you hate it that you have more than one IM application active.
Annoying popups & ads have ruined what was once good
stevelahMay 23, 2011
Pros
Multiple chat client support, logging of chats, easy to use interface all made this software great (prior to this release!).
Cons
Ads pop up extremely frequently in the system tray. Ads appear while you're chatting. Trillian has gone from a free model with reduced features to ad supported in the most annoying way.
Summary
There are too many other good options out there - Pidgin, Miranda and others - to prevent me from keeping Trillian around as ad supported. If you're willing to plunk down the $ you'll no doubt be happy. If you want free software keep looking cuz the folks at Trillian have ruined a once great thing.
pain in the back end

Pros
easy to download, easy to install,
Cons
it runs non stop unless you shut it down manually, It pops up every single time someone comes on line.
Summary
I wouldn't download it again or use it again myself. I am far to busy to have this program popping up all the time.
