I'm surprised this project Yahoo Messenger has been working on is actually still alive. It's been just under 2 months since their last update of Yahoo Messenger for Vista. Today, Sarah Bacon, announced in the Yahoo Messenger Blog that new features will be available in the next update. These new features are being called "key features" according to the blog.

So, who loves to call their friends from Yahoo? Is that why you might still have Yahoo Messenger 8.1 still installed in your Vista machine? Well good news is coming to you guys. The next update will be having voice calling from PC to PC and PC to Phone. Lovely isn't it? Also you'll be able to receive calls if you have a Phone In number. I know I'm going to be calling all my friends when that update comes out. :)

Ok, so now do you like texting and/or annoying your friends with unknown text messages? This is even better! The new update will also have texting capabilities as the 8.1 has. I use texting only when my celly is dead and it is a savior. Many should know if you are in my position.

With both features, Yahoo Messenger for Vista will be a lot better after this update. Yahoo is actually keeping this one up and alive. Keep it here to get more updates on Yahoo Messenger for Vista. If you want to read the full blog you can click here to visit it.

Also, the blog states that there isn't a "definitive release date for this next Beta version of Yahoo! Messenger for Vista." Keep that in mind before commenting here or on the blog. Time defines perfection, let them have time so all Yahoo Messenger users can a bad-ass messenger for Vista.
