Yahoo Messenger 9 Close to Windows Live Messenger in Looks

By Ashish Mohta

After I figured that Yahoo 9 has become a lot stabler with more features added , I was also surprised to know its getting to closer in looks and features of Windows Live Messenger. Specially when it comes to chat window its pretty much same.

yahoo messenger and Windows Live Messenger

  • The Sidebar looks are exact with the arrows on top right corner which allows to hide or show the sidebars.
  • The web cam are at same position ( almost)
  • Even the icons got bigger in yahoo messenger

I am just wondering how much close they are getting to or its mere inspiration ;)
