Preview Release of Yahoo Messenger for Vista Available For Download

So finally the wait is over, the preview version of the yahoo messenger for vista is now available for download. It’s the first Yahoo! Messenger built from the ground up for the Windows Vista operating system. It has a great user friendly interface with an eye candy look.

Since this is the preview version you might not find everything that should be in there. Hence you won’t be able to see voice, webcam, chat rooms, text messaging to mobile phones (SMS), IMVironments, Audibles, plug-ins, photo sharing.

Have a look at the emoticons from the new messenger….
