With the recent release of Vista comes new versions of Microsoft's programs,
one of those being
Windows Live Messenger. There are a few handy changes introduced in this new version, which might get your download finger itching to click the "Get it free" button. The changes include new looks for emoticons, contact and display images. Add a mobile number of a buddy by clicking on a cell phone icon beside a contact, and then send an SMS to that phone number. There is also a new feature called roaming identity. This feature allows for a persons display name and personal image to stay with them no matter what computer they log into from. There are also language updates that add eight new language capabilities to the IM. Other updates include the ability to instantly sync contacts information in your Windows Live mail address book the minute contacts have updated their information.
Yahoo has also updated their instant messaging application to work with Microsoft's new OS.

Speaking of which, Trillian is probably overdue for an update....
