Yahoo Messenger 9.0 Beta OUT! Download Link Inside!

[din]

I still use version 7 !!

No ads, widows are not cluttered, simple and easy to use.

Yes, for me, old is gold. I do not think I miss something that is very important for me. It works well for all my needs.

Not too great! Did not understand the logic behind the color schemes and the skin used by Yahoo, considering the fact that except for the title bar, they are not used anywhere else!

OK. Finally I was able to install and use it in my system after installing VC++ 2005 Redistributable Package:

*www.microsoft.com/downloads/detail...ee-a3f9-4c13-9c99-220b62a191ee&displaylang=en
*www.microsoft.com/downloads/detail...d9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&displaylang=en

So if anyone is facing similar problem, then install the packages and then install yahoo! messenger 9.0 Beta.

And finally I'll hv to say. Kya copy-cat hain. Totally WLM ko copy kiya hai. Similar contact list, similar button in chat windows to collapse the friends and your avatar. Also the interface also matches WLM. Badhiya hai.

This Y9 has removed more features than added.

No Option to change between nicknames and ID. And also removed option to disable tips. Also no option to change themes. The one currently available is to change color schemes rather than themes. Also you can't use your alias in chat rooms now.(bug actually) Also this version crashes too often on starting under XP.(dll file bug)

But new feature to show videos and images directly in chat window is ubercool.

I just downloaded & installed the Yahoo messenger 9 beta Indian version (without VoIP & ad banner)...anyone wants me to upload on rapidshare, 12 MB full installation file?

Its not crashing like the US version.

The whole UI rendering is freeging fast, on Vista its pure WPF....now, its not really what Yahoo promised us with the old demo but its good that yahoo didn't change the layout much. It still reminds of good old Yahoo messenger.

There are a few rendering bugs & crashes, with High memory usage of 45 MB but who cares, got 2 GB RAM to spare here...I just hope CPU usage remains low.

Download Links(Full Installers)

*us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yahoo.com/dl/msgr9/hi/ymsgr9hi.exe - Hindi Version of Y! 9 Beta

*us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yahoo.com/dl/msgr9/in/ymsgr9in.exe - Yahoo! India Messenger 9 Beta

*us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yahoo.com/dl/msgr9/us/ymsgr9us.exe - Yahoo! Messenger 9 Beta - US Version

Trick to download full installers, just add a "y" in original 340KB installer's filename in link.

For example above Links for 340KB sized installers were(provided by Y! site):

*us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yahoo.com/dl/msgr9/hi/msgr9hi.exe

*us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yahoo.com/dl/msgr9/in/msgr9in.exe

*us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yahoo.com/dl/msgr9/us/msgr9us.exe

I just added y in front of all filenames to make it complete downloads. I don't know why Yahoo! hides the full installers from public downloads.

 

[gxsaurav]

^^^^ there u go, full installers available.

Indian version is better, the inbuilt Video/Picture share is good. New version is more like a blend of Yahoo messenger (layout & style), WLM (Font format, IM grouped IMs) & Google talk (inbuilt picture/videos). i

Thanx @Navjot! I have been trying to install it using MO and the webinstaller. But it is continuously failing!
