What is bloated?

Trillian or GAIM is not bloated if that is what you mean

322773 2005-02-09 05:35:00 Gaim on Windows is more buggy and crash-prone than anything else I've ever used! wintertide (1306)
322774 2005-02-09 06:51:00 Interesting .

Fired up my home comp and Messenger (Windows Messenger) refused to let me log on untill I downloaded and installed a hotfix .

And it then rebooted my comp with no ceramony what-so-ever .

Hopefully it wasn't a cunning virus . . . . :annoyed:


This must be in relation to the recent worms, No need to patch my gear if they had a data base error as they claim, bet MS can't even lie straight at night .




As to bloat, ICQ,Yahoo Messenger,MSN Messenger are all bloatware to the bone,and Gaim and Trillian are brokenware .

Windows Meessenger does me just fine .

Gaim is buggy, however I've used Trillian for some years and found it really good.
