Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks
Strengths: All your buddys look the same. You can't tell the difference between someone on Yahoo and someone on AIM. Everyone has the same green bubble to tell you if they're online or not. Unless you have 5 or 6 friends it's just not practical.
Weaknesses: Aside from the ability to sign in multiple accounts and use slightly less RAM than previous versions there's not much else if anything.
Overall Evaluation: Pass this up or get a previous version on GAIM. This just isn't worth it.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months
Strengths: Uses much less memory than Yahoo IM. No ads poping up.
Weaknesses: No voice support.
Overall Evaluation: Easy to install and setup. Many add-ins are available. Options allow you to change several settings, e.g., logging on as invisible to everyone.
