That doesn’t sound like a business with a future. Only “support staff” means no development/security/improvements…future.
I'll be following this story as it develops... but I'm not too thrilled about this. Most of my buddies are on AIM.

That aside, it seems inevitable that independent instant messaging programs are getting purged, now that social networking sites generally include, and are upgrading, their chat options. Not sure if it's a good or a bad thing, what with the "multi-tasking technology" fad nowadays. Ah well.

I think more people would use AIM if it stopped changing its interface every month.
Looks more like a social networking site now rather than an instant messaging application.

Are you accusing me of having a Mac? I assure you, everyone computer and laptop in my house is a PC.
The latest version of AIM for Windows looks like that. You may not have the newest version.

I wouldn't know myself since I haven't used the official AIM client since the early-mid 00's

I posted the Mac image because it's the first image I found that looked like the new AIM in Windows. Thus, I didn't pay attention to the OS it was running on. There is no variation other than the OSX buttons.
You just said, "It looks nothing like that on Windows"
Here you go, since Googling "new aim" is too hard.
And the official site to preempt claims of image manipulation: http://www.aim.com/download#windows
Nice try, though. Let's do this again sometime, 'kay?

You should've preemptively Googled it before you said "That's not what it looks like on Windows".
No hostility here :)

Anyway, considering AIM seems to still be updating their software, they don't appear to be shutting down any time soon.

I have Windows, and my AIM looks nothing like that either. It also updated recently in the last two weeks. It's an easy mistake to make.

You're the one who felt the need to explain it. I didn't ask you to :)
He said, "it looks nothing like that on Windows." I'm just saying he should've Googled it himself before saying I was wrong and there would be no confusion. :)

It's been 6 years since I last used it, though. I blame Facebook and Twitter, personally.
This is a good start.
I assume this guy inspired your sig?
