That’s right, they’ve made a new beta: 2002a Beta Build #3722 Updated Monday, March 25th.
There is also a review on CNet.
Enjoy,

Only thing Ive noticed so far is a few buttons changed a bit. And that you can either have it in the task bar, or in the system tray, and not always in the system tray like before.And Jeff now has 500 posts and 4 stars by his name:)

March 28, 2002 at 1:29 am #68823SathallrinMemberAnother thing I noticed about the new ICQ, is that it adds a signature to Outlook.
The signature includes your ICQ number, and an indicator that can tell if you are on or offline. (handy for the person getting your mail)
I thought it was neat, but you can turn it off in Outlooks signature options if you dont want to use it.~Sathallrin~
