Finally

It looks a bit different with the completely transparent window borders. But it is kinda late now. People have lost some interest in it and it had a special Fantasy Football plugin I think, but now Fantasy Football is into playoffs, which means there are only a couple weeks left

Where Are All The Ads?

Yahoo Messenger for XP has annoying rotating ads plastered at the bottom. Does the Vista version have this too?

Not justified

It's written in WPF and WPF is also available on Windows XP. Why is Yahoo! keeping it Vista exclusive?

Because WPF is even slower on XP

On Vista (assuming you have a WDDM video driver), WPF has decent performance. On XP, WPF's ability to use the hardware is severely limited, thus its performance is even worse than WPF on Vista (which isn't too good to begin with).
No wonder it took so long...
