KernelPanic:
But isn't Google Talk just Jabber, meaning they have done none of the hard work and are taking all the credit?

Jenda:
The installer look's a LOT like Mandrake's - for Christ's sake can't they come up with something original, for once?

[EDIT:] Can you please move this post to http://www.microsuck.com/forums/showthread.php?p=102392#post102392 ? Thanks.

Jenda:
Many of my friends like Google's Picassa - and AFAIK, it's win-only.

Better them use an open protocol rather than design another closed (or open, even) protocol.
All I'm worried about is Google talk clients not interoperating properly with other Jabber clients. Article.

Kintaro:
The problem is not with Google Talk clients, it is (I don't believe anyway) that the Google Talk server does not allow messaging with other jabber servers. It requires a gmail address.

The Google Talk clients also seem to lack the ability to set vCard information like in most Jabber clients, however normal Jabber clients can take advantage of this feature with the Google Talk server. There are also issues with the way the text formatting works with Google Talk verses standard Jabber clients.
