Trying out Gtalk Labs edition

I got to know from my friend that Google is trying out hands on Gtalk in their labs. And it's available for download to test it out. So I just went ahead and downloaded this new kiddie with lot of enthusiasm, anxious to see what new has Google team done with Gtalk.


But after installing it and using I just can't bear it for more than few minutes. I uninstalled it. Listed below are some of the usability issues I found with it.

• they have put all chat windows into one. there is no liberty of moving (drag-drop) of different chat windows of different users
• sign out option is removed from chat window
• you need to right click on icon in task bar and then sign out
• limited settings options
• the title text color is grey which doesn't go well with blue tint of chat box
• when u are chatting with someone you can't say who's online
  closing the any chat window will bring up the last left chat window on top rather than the adjacent one
