AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) should be used because e-mail just isn't fast enough sometimes. This convenient, add-on to your system lets you communicate one-on-one or in a group with family, friends, and business associates who also use it. Finding people online can be easy too. Use the Member Directory to locate friends by name or by e-mail address.
Yes
- New look and feel! We've got a redesigned user interface that we think you'll love
- Better performance. We've been under the hood tweaking the software to make it run faster and use less of your PC's resources
- Bigger buddy icons! What's not to love about that?
- Buddy icon cropper. Click on your icon near the top of your buddy list and you can pick a picture off of your PC and zoom in on your face for a great buddy icon
- Big status entry area. We make it really easy to see your current status message. Also, when you change from online to away we'll put your cursor in the status message so you can tell people what you're up to
- New advertisement size and placement. We think the new ad fits better in the buddy list and hope you agree
Reviewing 7.0.3.16 Beta 1 (May 17, 2009)
This is a VERY early beta release and AIM 7 wont include support for AIM plug ins or animated super buddy support, but is lighter on sytem resources.
This will overwrite AIM 6.9 if you have that installed. New things are promised as new beta versions are released for AIM 7. Should get interesting!

This BETA SUCKS, stick with 6.9. All my canned AWAY messages were not usable/missing. The only thing with this release has is bigger ICON's, but none of my GIF's worked, they did not flash. Not a good release in my opinion!!!

Great improvement from previous 5 version. If you don't like ADs install Aim ad hack. www.aimadhack.net

If the only protocol you use is AOL's, this is a great app. Fresh, clean, all the features you need in a chat client. AOL is finally getting serious about this app.
