    Google/gmail recently sent me a message on my gtalk saying that it is no longer supported and that I should try hangouts. Now, I've been trying hangouts and although it seems trendy and all, I just can't seem to wean myself off gtalk. Infact I noticed that gtalk is still in beta, which means I've been using it all this while in beta, and it's going out of support without having officially been "released"? This is funny and sad, if it works why fix it? Does this remind you of the murder of Windows XP by MS?

      Wrong forum. "a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices ... code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrasing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it"

        I never used GTalk much, and don't use Hangouts much, so I've hardly noticed a difference when I do. Skype hasn't changed in yonks, and that's my main 'chat' line.

          Maybe it's weird that anyone used it?

            Because you cannot sell DOS anymore, even though it is not "broken".

            No, XP was out of beta. ..but do I read it correctly that you are still supporting all of your software that has not "broken"?

              Hangouts is the release version of Google Talk - renamed and 2.0. That's all.
