G-Talk Beta

Yes, a google IM service. You can find it here.

"They say talk is cheap. Google thinks it should be free. Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for free–anytime, anywhere in the world. Google Talk offers you:

Choice: Get in touch over email, IM or a call


Quality: Talk through your computer but hear your friends as if they were in the same room


Convenience: Your Gmail contacts are pre-loaded into Google Talk so inviting or talking to your friends is just a click away

Google Talk is in beta and requires a Gmail username and password.
Don't have Gmail? Get an account using your mobile phone (US only). "

"Google Talk is not a telephony service and cannot be used for emergency dialing"

what does Beta mean?

beta

/bay't*/, /be't*/ or (Commonwealth) /bee't*/ n. 1. Mostly
working, but still under test; usu. used with `in': `in beta'. In
the Real World, systems (hardware or software) software often go
through two stages of release testing: Alpha (in-house) and Beta
(out-house?). Beta releases are generally made to a group of lucky
(or unlucky) trusted customers. 2. Anything that is new and
experimental. "His girlfriend is in beta" means that he is still
testing for compatibility and reserving judgment. 3. Flaky;
dubious; suspect (since beta software is notoriously buggy).

Basicly its the second stage of testing where they let other people outside the company test it and report bugs...

Ha I used to have ME, it sucks...like seriously I think 98 is better.

98 is better dude...... I actually like 98 more than XP Image file not present in the recovered backup
