voxox First look

as of this writing VoxOx is in beta release and most have not heard about it yet. I was curious to figure out what it is and if it anything like what i understood when i read about it on Cnet. So here are my expectations:
- it is a program that will allow me to sign in to my MSN, Yahoo, Google messengers all at the same time.
- in doing so it will automatically import all the contacts from each of the messengers to it and organize them somehow
- it will also allow me to connect to my skype or it has a feature that is like skype (phone/video)
as you see my expectations are very reasonable after reading the Cnet article :


So I went to the download link from cnet which is

and downloaded VoxOx then installed it on my Vista operating system.. this was straight forward.
Then when you run VoxOx for the first time the wizard comes up (you can initiate the wizard later on if you forgot something or wanted to change something).

here are my first look fast thought and observations:
- the program still crashes every once in while when you do something like try to sign in with your live messenger.
- I have not figured it out yet but some contacts will show a picture next to them and others not.. it might have to do with the version of live messenger/ yahoo messenger they are using etc.
- the pictures for the contact area are not adjustable in size (it would be much nicer if they were)
I am still evaluating this .. so please wait for further updates in the next hours
