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.

    Still can't collapse or remove the buddy icon/status bubble at the top that takes up a ridiculous amount of space.

    Still no option to just disable all sounds; have to go through and disable each one individually.

    Other than that, slick new interface which isn't half bad once you get it customized and remove most of the bloat.

    This beta is just fantastic. I liked the way facebook, twitter and youtube is integrated. This is going to be the best of all AIM versions..

    OK this beta is much better, nice to see my away messages are back, that was a big NO NO in beta 1, took me awhile to find my away messages in beta 2 but they are there. The other annoying thing with AIM, every time there is an upgrade, I have to go find the new sounds (door open/door close etc.), why can't the sounds be kept in some common place & not change?

    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!
