Upgrade your Yahoo Messenger before August 2009

Yahoo Messenger is one of the most popular Instant Messaging Clients in the world, but with a large installation, a host of problems, one of them is that many users do not update to the latest version as soon as available, so backward compatibility and interoperability is an important issue. But at any time, users must be "convinced" to upgrade and that is what Yahoo does, when he announced the withdrawal of the old Yahoo Messenger version 6.0 and 7.5.

"If Yahoo! Messenger gets older, so have some of the" old "versions are still used by some users. In an attempt to get the best experience for our users and high level of security, we will officially retire Yahoo! Messenger version 6.0 and 7.5" Yahoo announced.

The official retirement date is set for the month of August 2009 and only Yahoo Messenger 8.0 and later supported. People who still use the old version will be informed of the retirement of the application and the date of the limits will not be able to log in and use the service for these customers.

Yahoo offers several options for those affected. The most obvious is to upgrade to the latest version of Yahoo Messenger 9.0.0.2162 at the time of writing is available to download. The latest version of IM client offers improved security as well as some advanced features such as call and the opportunity to chat with friends using Windows Live Messenger.

If the upgrade to Yahoo Messenger 9 is not an option, you can always use the Web client on webmessenger.yahoo.com, which has the advantage of platform-neutral agnostic, with just a browser. Web Client offers a number of useful benefits are the ability to access your message history from all over the place. And if you are not satisfied, you can also use the built-in chat client Yahoo!
