Keep it clean

On my wishlist for coming generations of live messenger is that try keep the
application clean and small. The instant messeging program should not be a
100Gb program that costs a lot off performance. At least, make all flashy
blinking things go away if you want to under preferences. And please, don't
add toolbars by default.

toolbar, and real should be an opt-in

Greetings,

I crushed my teeth and installed AIM Triton the other night.. during the installer the
typical toolbar etc. options were there but were -off- by default. I was really impressed by
that.

The actual application on the other hand, a tad less impressed but it's alright.

Normal Aim does install the toolbar, it also installs AOL Spyware and
connection wizard.
