Google joins instant-messaging fray

Software vs. Service: My understanding is that they're billing Google Talk as a cross-platform service, with the current client only being available in Windows. I suspect that will change, though. It's based on an open protocol, which means any good Linux hacker (or Google themselves, if they see the demand) can port it to Linux.; Posted by: bhartman36 Posted on: 08/24/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
