    IE 8 Exists

    Yipee!

    http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2007/12/05/internet-explorer-8.aspx

    Ok, we all knew it existed and was being worked on, but this is the first time the IE team has talked about anything (even if there's no actual info here).

    Accompanying Channel 9 thread discussing the "announcement".

    Yahoo Messenger for Windows Vista (using WPF) Preview Released

    http://on10.net/Blogs/larry/yahoo-messenger-with-wpf-goes-live/

    Just installed it and while it's not feature complete yet and there are some performance issues, overall I really like it!

    It kind of makes the Windows Live Messenger team look a little stupid for letting their competition use our technology to make a better looking IM client, doesn't it?  ;)

    Definitely check it out!

    Nothing better in this world than a company who admits mistakes, listens to customers and makes changes when needed.
