Reviews of the ICQ Lite Alpha

  • 6.0

    CNET Review

    September 16, 2002

    The Good: Simpler interface than the full ICQ; consumes 2MB less RAM than ICQ; typing indicator now shows when your buddy is writing.

    The Bad: Lacks some common features, such as file sharing; includes fewer security options than the full version; isn't interoperable with AOL Instant Messenger or any other IM.

    The Bottom Line: ICQ Lite is easier to use and takes up fewer resources than ICQ Pro, but it doesn't offer an improvement over other mainstream IMs. ICQ diehards, use it for stripped-down messaging but stick with Trillian if you use more than one IM service.
