ICQ 5.04

MSN Messenger 7.0
A fun and feature-packed IM applet, MSN Messenger 7.0 is a great upgrade for version 6.2 users, but we prefer the less intrusive Yahoo Messenger 6.0 and ICQ 4.1.
-
AOL AIM 5.5
Although it offers more business-oriented features than any other IM we reviewed, AIM 5.5 will still appeal mostly to home users.

Yahoo Messenger 6.0
Yahoo Messenger, along with ICQ, offers the most options for customisation and everyday use at home or in the office.
