I use yahoo messenger since most of my friends are in yahoo. I am using yahoo for chat only. If i use voice chat i use skype. In yahoo messenger the noise is more. But in skype no noise. just try skype, u can see the difference.

u can send a maximum of 3 messages to any mobile for free and u cant more than 3 untill the other person replies to ur message...yahoo messenger has got some great feature...u can call ur friend's computer from anywhere in the world for free and no interruptions...the only problem i experienced is that of webcam...when i use the version 810.421 ,i can see the other person but they cant see me...if i use any other version,they can see me but i cant see them...one of the mysteries i havent solved yet...so i use version 810.421 to see the other version and msn to let the others see me because msn also behaves like the other versions of yahoo...but i call and chat using yahoo

You can use both, when you need to! I myself use Yahoo messenger most of the time,because most of my friends and relatives are on there! But I have a couple of relatives that have Windows.live, and I use it when I talk to them!

Since I don't like online chatting, I don't use any messenger.

I use Yahoo! Messenger a lot, although I also have Gtalk and MSN. I seldom use the last two. I use Yahoo! Messenger for chatting with my relatives and friends. It is one of the best and cheapest ways to communicate with our loved ones. For me, YM is better, maybe because I use it most of the time to chat and I am used to it already. Cheers!

I use yahoo messenger and gtalk.. The main reason is that my friends are in these. I feel that you can use both yahoo and windows messenger. It seems yahoo have launched a new messenger which is very good. No idea though.
