Well, GAIM is now renamed to Pidgin IM & the new version 2.0 is out now. In features Pidgin still lacks seriously behind the rest of dedicated IM Clients like MSN & Yahoo messenger cos it doesn't supports Voice & Web cam chat, but still since it is cross platform & supports multiple chat protocols it is good one.
The things I was expecting but didn't see in Pdigin, still not upto the mark. How much time they need to support basic features? 5 years
1) No webcam
2) No Coice chat
3) No file transfer between Pidgin & Yahoo
4) No support for audibles (ok, hardly matters)
5) Not skinable & Protocol Icons are gone from buddy list.
6) GUIFication\Libnotify should be bundled with Pidgin.
I made this icon out of Pidgin Installation screen. For Windows XP & Vista, ico & png are given.

This is open source. This developers are making this software has their past time. There are not gaining any sort of money by doing this. So have little patience iam sure this features willl come soon. This is not Microsoft.

Well coice is a new feature introduced by gx_
saurav. 
What is does is unknown so far. So let us wait and watch what it does.
Psst :- Coice is a spelling mistake. The correct spelling is voice.
