Yahoo's new messenger will give some serious competition to MSN's Messenger 7. Infact, looking at the features, it seems like it's designed to strike at the roots of MSN Messenger.

navjotjsingh · 17-05-2005, 12:30 PM

Great News. Looking forward to it.

BTW the beta version is not the orginal one, isnt it?

mohit · 18-05-2005, 04:52 PM

@achacko@dataone.in
what do u mean by the beta version not being original ? beta versions are original software released by the developers for testing the product ... they are used to fix all bugs n errors before the final release.

mohit · 18-05-2005, 09:55 PM

@talrejaharish

hey dude the link for the indian version only downloads a 490 kb (approx)file ... is there any link for the complete direct download of the beta version so that i can give it to my frnds ?or is the yahoo msngr beta so small in size ?

18-05-2005, 10:07 PM

is it safe & secure to use the beta version, version 6 seems to be enough for me

the direct link

http://us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yaho...n/ymsgr7in.exe

8.5 MB, hmm, I will wait till it gets final, cos I don't want to waste internet on beta

drgrudge · 19-05-2005, 09:50 AM

I suggest, not to install this version! I tried it last night and had these problems:
- Script error, when i click on the links in the messenger window
- Crashes (only once for me, but other ppl expierence this more)
- Heavy on system resource (even more than the earllier version)

More reasons:

- That hidden emoticons program can't be used

- The interface looks bad when comapred to ealrier version, IMO
- It's a 8.5mb setup.

On the positive note:
- The file transfer thing is better and improved very much, i just tried sending/recieving files and it went on well...
- The voice/ internet call thing sounds good, but i dont think it will be much of a use to me.

Overall it needs improvement, but u guys decide for yourself and their is nothing wrong in trying this out....

Hmm, we will have to run the program again (with internet) and that will directly downalod and install the program.

Another major bug:
File transfer disabled for users other than yahoo7 on both sides,i.e., if i have 7, other has 6, file transfer is disabled for me...

19-05-2005, 12:30 PM

i m going to download it . it seems more attractive..! but if it large download then will wail for digit to give it!!!

Nemesis · 19-05-2005, 02:40 PM

I'm trying it out too. Seems fine to me other than the Script errors in conferences. I had no issues with links in normal IM windows. It hasn't crashed yet for me and file transfer was smooth (Y! 7 to Y! 7; didn't try with 6 yet). I have seen some cosmetic changes but nothing really substantial.

Grace · 19-05-2005, 04:22 PM

Is direct entry to Y! 360 possible in Indian version?

rohanbee · 19-05-2005, 05:04 PM

Started using this version of Windows messenger. No errors yet but i just used for a little time only. I guess time will tell. So i belive it has the voip feature. Anyone use it yet?

iinfi · 19-05-2005, 11:39 PM
