Recently Yahoo! released a new beta messenger (code name Diablo) for Windows Vista. Initially I tried during the alpha days and did not had a chance to try it again; and I installed it today during the free time and surprised to see that it offers almost all the existing features of regular messenger with much more enhancements.
The good thing about the new Diablo is; it is completely re-written messenger on top of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) for Vista to get the rich GUI look and feel. It has number of interesting features like zooming of contacts to the desired level, multiple color choice, searching of contacts, auto spell checker, phone support, call history etc. This is for sure much better than the currently existing one; and need to see what new features the team will add in the coming days especially towards the social networking of friends as part of YOS.
The only thing that I found missing is the archive of messages; that’s one of the feature that I use a lot by archiving all the messages; so that I can refer back to them at any time.
The screenshots of the messenger can be found from here:

Hi Venu..
The interface seems a luring one.. but then will it be wise full to get it installed.. but when i say that what i want to know about the performance issues.. did you find it a good deal as it is using such a high graphical approach and enhancement.. isn’t letting any short of performance hang..
I did not notice any sluggyness even though it is in Beta; my laptop has 2G RAM…but once you start using it; I am sure it won’t dissapoint you. The previous version did not had ‘remove the taskbar botton, so that minimize will stay in tray’; but the new one does have that feature also.
Ok thank’s venu for the last point you have made here…
I will be going to give it a try to it.. today itself once i be there at my laptop..
Cheerss!!

The New Yahoo Messenger not only has a smart interface but is equally handy when it comes to performance coupled with a few handy features not available in the previous version. Looks good even though it is still in the BETA version.
