Yahoo! have released a brand new and stylish beta of Yahoo! Messenger for Mac users. The update includes a nasty teaser for the integration between Yahoo! Messenger and Windows Live Messenger.

The 3.0 beta is the first significant update in over three years now coming with a new stylish and clean interface. Support for display pictures has finally been added as well as some other nifty features. Another new feature is one that recently arrived in Windows Live Messenger, being if you talk to a contact and you receive no reply, the messages are automatically grouped instead of saying "contact says:" each time. You can turn on the feature in the options guys for those who have not used it yet.

So about the integration, well it seems as well as stealing ideas from other clients you can finally talk to WLM contacts, although it is not fully finished yet. This is a big step, problem is most of us can't use it because the majority of us don't own a Mac. The update is refreshing for the IM world for Mac users and it may take over Microsoft's place for MSN Messenger for Mac.
