Is it an MSN type service Cyrano?

Yes, I have just downloaded it. And my favourite is always Google with its all services.

Yes - I am always cautious about MSN. Microsoft are so hated that they are a big target for viruses. I am so ignorant though - it says you need GMAIL and have to have a US number to set one up?

Whatare the advantages of Google talk please?

it is so pure and so small not making a hard work to your pcs cpu and ram... you can easily check your mail box... very simple and useful im service.. i am using too

hi Cyrano,
Google talk sounds good.
I'm using skype to call my family in Poland - of course for free as well. but some of my friends say skype isn't good because it makes their computers work heavy.
so can you tell me how is google talk? did you try it with international talks?

thank you so much Cyrano!
It is really super!
