Yup, it’s out! The preview version of Yahoo Messenger 9 is now available for download for Vista users. XP users got the beta release couple of months ago, but Vista users still had to wait because Yahoo still had some work left for the Vista version.

As you can see in the image above, the whole interface has been re-designed and many new features have been added. As this is a preview version (pre-beta version), all features that are available in the past versions will be there in this release.

Features:

• New interface
• Adjustable display picture size
• Tabbed conversations
• Contacts list in multiple columns
• Windows Sidebar gadget
• Skins for conversation windows
• Better emoticons
• Windows Live Messenger contacts support
• Send files (2GB max)
• Spell Checker

and many more…
