    Default Multi IM client Like Trillian?

    Hiya.
    Im looking for a Universal Im client that runs like Yahoo/msn/icq etc.

    I used Trillian 3.1 for years but is there anything better out there?

    Mime and those open source ones i found a bit crap.

    http://www.miranda-im.org/ is the one I used to use before I decided IM wasn't worth using

    I don't think you'll get any better than Trillian, do you use it currently? Have you used the pro vesion?

    Might be better off in Other VoIP/IM

    Like headsortails says there's not really anything better than Trillian, but a Windows version of GAIM has been ported. http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

    I use Gaim at work, I like it because it's discrete.
    Has it's issues but not as much as MSN!

    You simply can't beat trillian for speed/memory usage/plugins and compatability.

    I'm currently testing Trillian 4 Astra and it's even better, so stick with 3.1 until v4 comes out, you wont find better.
