except for the file transfer capability, i'd rather use adium. adium blows ichat out of the water, but i payed for 10.2, so damn it, i'm going to use ichat. it seems that recently, apple been releasing a lot of stuff before its done, i dont really like this approach, as the mac has always been known for hardware and software that "just works". if the latter fails to hold up its part of the bargain, apple will lose ground fast.
