Google Talk is the instant messaging client provided by Google that allows us to communicate on the Internet with ease and by using multiple features meant to improve the chatting experience.

The company updated the software solution periodically, adding file transfer functions, VoIP features and compatibility with the Gmail HTML interface. The last version of the application was released one week ago but the company didn't publish any changelog of the updated program, except a little mention on the official webpage of the software solution that said Google Talk is now compatible with Windows Vista.

Since the release of the latest Google Talk, many internet users tested the application and posted some changes, but the company didn't release any official changelog for the program. Besides the compatibility for Windows Vista, Google Talk is now more secure and it allows only one user on the Vista computers.
Google decided this is the perfect time to announce the changes of this latest version of Google Talk and posted a message on the official blog to mention them.

"You've been asking whether Google Talk will work on Windows Vista. Ask no more -- today we're releasing an update that makes it compatible with Vista. You don't have to do anything -- you'll get the new update automatically -- and whenever you upgrade to Vista, Google Talk will automatically work. We have also posted this new version on the Google Talk download page.

Just like other Windows OSs we support, Google Talk can be installed for all users or just a single user on a Windows Vista computer. In the past, Google Talk installed for all users on a computer by default. However, because of its new security features, the default install on a Vista computer will be for a single user," Pankaj Kakkar, Software Engineer at Google, said.

Google Talk 1.0.0.104 was also tested by Softpedia and it is available as a free download HERE.
