You can only wonder why Yahoo and not MS is showing off a WPF-based IM...

I'll start by saying I do like it, its got fun and new-ish features but in my opinion almost every new Vista gadget, app etc. I see pushes me just a bit more towards 'its nothing but eye candy'

Could someone please explain to me why the point of Vista appears to be "take up as much space as possible with either big empty bars or pointless shiny"?

Who cares if the mac version is only at version 2. It just means you should finally join the rest of the world and start using windows!

For the most part, Vista isn't really wasting significantly more space than, for example, XP. Simply being "shiny" doesn't make the bars take up more space for instance, though they may make certain people believe that Vista is sucking up too much of their computer's resources.

As one of the lucky few to receive a copy of Vista RTM. I didnt get a new computer and I didnt upgrade it and Vista is not slow and it isnt bloated. Alot of people will think that Vista isnt worth it because all you can see is "visual" changes. Theres no way to see the internal changes unless you actually use it. Windows Vista is definitely worth getting because its actually faster and easier to use than XP is and will ever be even if MS actually comes out with a SP3 for XP in 08.

As for Vista with its empty, shiny bars, thats not what makes it slow. Programs written in .NET and WPF are just traditionally slower than those written in other langauages, so far. Thats not and wont be Vistas fault.

As for YM for Vista. It looks great I just hope they havent gotten rid of YM plugins. Since the screenshots of this new messenger are only of a PRE-alpha build things could change drastically by the time its actually released. But, I doubt it will change for the bad though.

Rant over. :)

I a very longtime owner of the WIN-TEL (DOS 1.x, Windows 3.1/95/98/ME/NT/2000/2003/XP) PCs and Servers, I am also a beta tester for Long Horn, Vista RC1/RTM but I am not a Vista bias and a blinded user. These are a few true facts about the Windows Vista for the PC owners who want to change from XP to VISTA:

-- Don't ever fool yourself into believing that the Windows Vista:
1) "is not slow and it isnt bloated".
2) "is actually faster and easier to use than XP is and will ever be".

-- Current Vista RTM is Defintely NOT FASTER than XP when you compare the XP & VISTA that operate on the same identical PC configurations.

I loaded a VISTA ULTIMATE on my Antique PC (PENTIUM-4 2.8GHZ , 1GB PC3200-DDR, ATA WD-HD 200 Gig-7200RPM-16Meg RAM buffer, 256 Meg/DiectX9 ATI-Radeon 9600-PRO Video card). This configuration is exceed the Microsoft requirement for Vista Premium Ready PC(1 GHz CPU, 1 Gig RAM, 40 GigaB HD, 128Meg/DiectX9 Video card).

My Antique PC because works fast when it loaded with Windows XP/Pro or XP-MCE. When it is loaded with Windows Vista Ultimate, my Antique PC works much slower, slows to response to user input, all program executions take much longer to finish. I hated my Antique PC when it is loaded with Windows Vista. I think my mouth is a little bit wider because of the constant cursings after months of VISTA beta testings.

-- The Windows Vista works better on a newer PC configuration (AMD 64 X2 dual core 4400+, 3 Gig RAM DDR2-667, Serial WD-HD 200Gig-16MegRAM buffer, ATI Radeon X1800 CROSSFIRE/PCIE/512 MEG RAM VIDEO card).

I like the Vista aero eye-candies. It does have a similar looks and feels of the Apple MAC OS X. The Vista does look nicer than XP but I don't think VISTA works that much better than XP. VISTA does a good jobs of hiding advanced features from all users with the intention to protect novice users from shooting themsevles in the foot. But that feature and the protected excution is annoying to advanced users because it adds extra steps and hoops that we have to do..

-- UPDATE your old PC if you want to use WINDOW VISTA unless your PC configuration is equal or better than my new PC configuration.
