The new slick theme is made to 'blend in' to Windows Vista's Glass effects throughout the Operating System. I have downloaded it and It does match Windows Vista perfectly. I reccommend everyone to download WLM 8.5 beta if you got XP or especially Windows Vista  |

Yes, it matches Vista, but it looks almost lost on XP (if you are even bothered about aesthetics, of course). . . Microsoft needs to consider the vast proportion of its users who are still on XP rather than force them to pay 100 quid for what is basically a new theme and not much else. . . They better not keep doing it until support for XP officially runs out. . . .

It looks nice on Vista, but a big miss on XP. I'm staying with open-source and fully configurable Miranda though.

Heh they are just probably updating the looks again, i havn't seen any real big useful changes in past versions other than the looks. Would be nice to see what they can come up with to put in the new version, although they have pretty much crammed as much into it already for guys that just need to use it to communicate. Havn't seen any screenshots or documents yet, but from what i can guess it will only be interface changes more toward the vista feel. -HellFire

-SREE for "Normal" use of google talk, you need nothing special with vista. While connected to mail.google.com, click on your contact's while it's green, and start a talk, that's all. Nothing to install, simply your contact hase to be connected too. By the way, this topic subject concerns windows messenger, and your question concerns google talk, which is a competitor. Next time, ask your question in the correct topic, you have better chances to get an answer.

I have the new Windows Live Beta 8.5 version and there isn't anything major that's different from the older version, except that it blends with the Vista Theme. I have Windows Ex, but i downloaded a theme that looks like Vista and it really blends.

since 1709B03a). There are a few downsides to it (like large memory demands and Sygate PF wich hangs
when Mercury is running), but it's a good one, I think it's even better than MSN. It has
almost everything MSN has, except than sending custom winks (is being worked on) and the sounds
