I would not bet on that.
It is an old version and last I tried, 6 months ago, it was unusable.
I asked Yahoo for an up-to-date version, but never got a reply.
Instead I went to "amsn" (MSN only, sorry) and have been using that ever since.
I tried "Gaim", but too many functions were not available yet. Including web-cam. That was 4-5 months ago.
I have been a Linux user since 1992-3, when it became usuable with network drivers and X, using it exclusively since 1995-6.
I used Windows 9x / 2k etc. in VMWare and now QEmu.
Enjoying that the frequent Windows crashed only took down Windows and not all the other tasks I was working on. The Windows crashed were my main reason to switch to Linux.
It started as a "Slackware", but today it is more like an "Andyware" ;-)
