Windows: Trillian Astra, the app that wants to manage all your social network updates, chat protocols and email notifications, has opened its beta to anyone who wants in.
We’re not sure how permanent it is, but Trillian’s apparently giving out invites for their Trillian Astra client—Windows version only—almost immediately after you apply.
If you want to chat on several networks—like AIM, Yahoo Messenger and MSN—using one instant messenger client, on the Mac side you’ve got Adium and on Windows side you’ve got Trillian (and the open source Pidgin.) However, Macworld reports that the makers of Trillian are putting together an OS X version of Trillian’s upcoming version 4 release. Cross-platform users, which multi-protocol IM client do you think is better?
