Yahoo Messenger For Windows Vista

Yahoo is currently developing Yahoo! Messenger for Windows Vista.

There’s one word to describe the new Yahoo Messenger, Fresh!

The interface has changed completely using Windows Vista’s WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) graphical subsystem of Microsoft’s .NET Framework 3.0.

Yahoo! Messenger for Windows Vista is one of the few applications which uses the WPF subsystem.

The YM version 9 also features intergration with other Yahoo! services such as Flickr, 360, Yahoo! Fantasy Games, etc, as well as a Windows Vista widget built-in into the application a.k.a. Yahoo! Messenger Sidebar gadget.

It also automatically adds groups of friends you make on the Yahoo! network to you Messenger (eg. Yahoo Games). Conversations can now be organized by dragging and dropping them into one tabbed window. It also comes with new emoticons, program icons and alert sounds.

There will be a new version for the Mac as well in the near future.
