It's been almost an entire year since Yahoo first announced it was developing their Yahoo Messenger program for Windows Vista.

 

Well . . . the Yahoo Messenger Blog has announced the release of their Windows Vista Yahoo Messenger program.

FEATURES:

• Entirely new interface that harnesses the power of WPF, the graphics subsystem in Windows Vista
• Organize your conversations into tabs, or drag and drop a tab out to create a new window
• Keep up with your favorite contacts by dragging them into the Windows Sidebar gadget
• Send enhanced emoticons that have some extra oomph
• Change the color of your IM windows with a built-in skin chooser. Go crazy with a different skin for every IM window!
• Adjust the display size of your contacts with a handy slider
• Arrange your contact list into multiple columns just by resizing your window
• Send instant messages to your Yahoo! and Windows Live Messenger contacts
• Send files to friends as large as 2 GB
• Find contacts quickly with the contact search bar. Type in a few letters of the contact’s name or ID and they’ll come up in filtered results.
• As-you-type spell checker that’s smart enough to know that “LOL” is not something to correct
• A preferences menu you can access by right-clicking anywhere at the top of the main Messenger window
