Google Talk

Its been only five minutes since I downloaded Google Talk ... the new IM client from google and its already on my "DON'T USE" Instant Messengers list.

I take a strong exception to the fact that the voice call feature automatically un-mutes my speakers so as to give me a ring or when I make a call to another user. Other than that seems good .. but does not have enough features yet .. maybe because it is in beta.
