Windowsatoz (http://www.windowsatoz.com) have posted their review of the recently made available beta version of Google's instant messaging client 'Google Talk'.

View: Google Talk Review (http://www.windowsatoz.com/product_guides/internet/google_talk.php)

The Google Talk beta interface is very clean and slim. It isn't like AOL's Instant Messenger interface that's bloated with features and advertisements. The interface has no ads, stock ticker, news info, weather info, even links to Google services. Google Talk beta does not include emoticons (unlike AOL and MSN Messenger), video or file transfer, it runs and installs very nicely and quickly.

IMO, if it had file transfer, it would be perfect.

I like camera/picture/video/file features. :(

Not even a jack of all trades, master of nothing.

Dismissed.

I think it's great, it definitely has promise. Of course it's not going to be better than any of the major players, it's only the first public beta. :rolleyes:

It's a Spam bot posting that's been edited by a mod it seems.

That was me. I was feeling particularly "smart-ass" last night. It was a spambot post that I edited, as Enverex said.
