*cough*

As I'm sure everyone has now heard of, Apple will be releasing an instant 
messenger client called "iChat" with Jaguar.  It only connects to the AOL 
network, but apparently it is the first time AOL is playing nice with it's 
OSCAR protocol.

*gets on soap box*

However, I feel that honestly Apple messed up the interface for once; the 
interface really looks bad.  It has the brushed metal iTunes look and 
while I understand the intent of trying to visually show two people 
talking using speech-bubbles, it just looks "bloaty", like everything 
takes up way more space than it should.  Hopefully there will at least be 
an option to disable this for the sake of people who won't be using Fire 
or some other application with cleaner interfaces.  Of course, I still 
think that Apple should give us the option of using an Aqua-style 
(non-iTunes-ish) for any of the brushed metal apps...but that might just 
be me...

*gets down*

Hopefully this won't cause too much ballyhoo on here.
