Depending on the IM protocols you want to make use of, you may well find that you need to download add-ons before you can even get started. This is not a pick-up-and-play piece of software there is a degree of configuration involved. This is a great option for anyone who frequently finds that they are using different machines or anyone who is a fan of portable software in general. There is no installation involved with Miranda NG, so it can be easily copied to a USB drive so that it can be used on different computers. Development here is on-going and much faster than in the past. Because of this, a new branch of the IM client was released, Miranda NG (or New Generation).

This is still very much the core or Miranda, but development has started to slow down to a crawl. It is a tool that has been around for a number of years, and gained quite a following thanks to the fact that is made it possible to chat with people on different networks – MSN users could chat with AIM users with a single application. Miranda is likely to be a familiar name to anyone who uses instant messaging software.
