Yahoo Messenger Vista After a long await for Yahoo messenger for Vista coming soon, Finally a preview (pre-beta) releaseis now available for users who are running a 64-bit version of Vista.

However One of the comments made on my previous post said

Yahoo messenger for vista (beta) has been released but I see no options there to use web cam or to join chat rooms? why couldn’t they make yahoo messenger 9.0 work with vista WITH sound! as i was getting sound from others in chat room but I was’nt able to make others hear myself.

It gives you about 6 different skins to choose from. And that’s it. No plug-ins to add, no chatroom options, no sound, you can’t send files, you can share photos, you can’t call another computer, can’t access your webcam… All you can do is IM people and that’s it. This version sucks. Don’t waste your time on it.
