Reviews

  • ICQ 5.04

    Easy, free services make ICQ 5.04 a fine choice for voice, keyboard, or Webcam chats, but MSN Messenger 7.0 and Yahoo Messenger 7.0 offer more features.

  • 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.
