I have not gotten around to installing pidgin on Vista yet, been really busy. Lucky I'm even having some free time this evening.  On windows I run Trillian, have since it came out, never any issues with it, and I need a multi-IM client for work and personal - but at the same time. Pidgin, I think, allows only one user per IM client, and I need more than one - so I cant use it, but I did use it on windows for an IRC deal afew weeks ago, that part of it worked fine.

I use yahoo all the time i think they are one of the first so majority of internet users do use it. But i kinda miss the old days when ym was still not too restricted.

i am using pidgin on vista right now and it is simply amazing. Trillian takes up a lot more memory than pidgin. If i remember correctly trillian takes a bit long to load. it has that laggy splash screen.
