I have been using pidgin ever since the day I got sick of Windows Live crashing on me and my conversations. It is simple and easy to use. But what is the latest and greatest version like. I will be reviewing v2.5.8.
After you go thought the “next and “I accept frenzy” you are presented with this.
As you can see I have no friends. But anyway, notice how simple and straight forward it is. I also noticed I wasn’t bombarded with “Live today” windows that usually pops up. So far so good. But what about a conversation?
After frantically texting my buds telling them to get their ass online I could test it. Again the simplicity follows through. You just have a menu for Font, Insert and Smile! You can also do files transfers, I won’t need to explain how to get there because it is so simple.
Positives
- Really simple
- Really simple
- Great for people on low end machines.
- It only uses 12MB ram.
- You can use every provider from MSN to XMPP.
Negatives
- Doesn’t have all the flash theme line windows live.
Overall
If you are sick and tied of Windows Live I Strongly recommend this product. Why? It does the job that it is intended for. There is no pop ups and it is stable. I give it a 9/10 and a space on my Recommended Software Page. You can download it here.
