UPDATE: Just had my first voice chat on Google Talk - sounded great. It also detected the Gmail Notifier and offered to uninstall it for me as Gmail notification can now be handled by Talk.








1. Yeah, but really, I don't see any reasons why it should prefer Google Talk over MSN Messenger, Miranda, Gaim or even Skype/Gizmo. I, honestly, don't think this will become another Google success; their new Desktop Search Beta is great, but Google Talk is practically useless on a crowded market, the more as it doesn't really stand out from the crowd.
