Just got the tweet about the public beta of Trillian PRO 5 that has just been released. My order is over a year old, but got the upgrade for $10 (about £6).

I have downloaded it and have already installed it. I installed it in a different folder from 4 so I could roll back faster and this has not caused any problems.

First launch looks excellent! I love the new “unskined” look – fits nicely into Windows 7 looks and feel!  The side boxes for twitter and facebook are much improved!

Lets hope this continues! I will post more later!
