aim 5.0: use it or lose it?

i'm currently using version 4.7.2480 because it's my favorite.

is there any point of upgrading to 5.0? i want reviews!

I dunno...as long as I can talk i'll be sticking to 4.whatever.

ummmmmmmmmmm why wouldnt you upgrade it.........

you can see that "your buddy is typing..." thing even if ur not directly connected
and if they other person doesnt have 5.0

so i think thats pretty cool
GO GET IT

5.0 isnt groundbreaking, but theres really no reason not to get it. its fancied up a bit, and has some stupid 'skin' features, but luckily you can just leave it white...no huge crash issues tho. or at least none that ive found|

Thats my favorite IM program...

If you have a lot of MEM then upgrade to 5.0 the interface is similiar but it has some new bells and whistles. Otherwise stick with the version you have now, if you ALT CTRL DEL and open up Task MGR and check the proccesses you will see that the new AIm eats like 15 MB of ram where the old one ran at 5 MB on my system.

...or you could just use MSN, a good IM program, which had that feature since it came around

isn't 5.0 still a beta? Anyways, imma stick with the 4.x version i have right now because AIM+ works for it...
