I used Trillian for a wee bit, and it works as advertised. But there’s an asterisk, isn’t there? You can’t have one sign-in for all those networks, you have to have as many sign-ins as you have networks. Well, not anymore! Now you can have (networks-1) sign-ins. Isn’t that nice? One down, a whole bunch to go. I can’t wait until there’s just the one sign-in, personally.

In that case, I see that as a good thing; bringing networks of people together. That means I won’t have to use my Yahoo! account now!

or nicknames never/rarely updated or auto-switch back to old nicks months ago ?

had been using trillian for years, recently switched to adium (mac) and gaim(pc). :-)

I liked that it has all IMs in one, but I never knew that it allows u to communicate with Yahoo to MSN users?

I also found that their support sucks, i sent so many emails for different issues..No one replied, no tickets were resolved.

Stealth mode, contact catagory features are not good too…

But may be I just used it for short time, my assesment might be wrong or in-accurate.

But what I understand from MSN-Yahoo tie up, I would be able to cross communicate between the two different IM services, which is nice thing…
