I suppose I'm a bit curious.  What does Google talk buy you?

Is it more than Just Another IM???

I'm not saying I like AIM, MSN, Yahoo... it's just that it
seems we don't necesarily need another one... or is there
a good reason to use it??

I hear that google is trying to bring more of their Windows-only
or Windows/Mac-only stuff to Linux now.


I'm curious,
Chris
