Looks nifty...probably still sucks a lot of RAM...that was my biggest problem with Trillian and why I don't use it... Just running like Aim and Facebook it would suck almost 200MBs of RAM...when Pidgin or Digsby barely hits 20-30MBs...

This version might be worth looking into...but really... "Designed for Windows 7" is this a joke...really? Designed for the latest version of a windows operating system...and that is the first thing they list in features...that sounds straight out stupid... That is just going to confuse people to not download it if they don't have 7... I love the windows 7 look and all...but don't sell that as one of the main points... And it probably won't look like win7 on my machine since I don't have/can't afford win7... :P

But all in all, I will probably download it and give it a try...

Enjoy!

UPDATE: Just on AIM, Trillian is using 11MBs of RAM...let's see how it handles facebook...

UPDATE: Running AIM and FaceBook it is at 17MBs...which is very impressive compared to other Trillian builds...but looks like it just starting to catch up with other All-in-One IM clients...

Designed for Windows 7 means it is using hte built in API for integrating with aero mainly..which IMO is a good thing. Time to take a look at v5.,.thanks for the tip..:)
 
Yeah downloading and using it. I've used Astra in the past, but it was getting bloated. This seems really trim and light. Liking it so far.
 
I'm using Astra (4.x) now and owned Trillian Pro before they moved to a "pay for the upgrades model," so I'll check it out. Eventually. Astra works with only a few annoyances, so I'll wait to try the beta.
 
I like Trillian, always have but stopped using it for a while be cause it was a RAM hog but now I will use the beta. Forgot that it can be confusing even now with all the social networks.
