Editor's review of mIRC

Internet Relay Chat is not as well-known as ICQ, even though it successfully combines chat and messaging without annoying ads. The IRC network is a virtual meeting place where people from all over the world can meet and talk. With mIRC, you can choose from an unlimited number of existing chat rooms based on personal interests, or you can create your own channels with family and friends. IRC is more advanced than simple messenging, so it may take a while to get started. With a bit of browsing, though, you'll find that the mIRC interface allows easy access to IRC features. It guides you through the initial stages, including selecting from a wide list of servers. You can connect to more than one IRC server at once and chat through proxy. By creating your own channel, you can even set up a virtual meeting with colleagues. This program suits advanced users keen to expand their chat-client functionalities. For first-time users, mIRC offers the most functionality of any chat program available, which can be overwhelming at first--but if you read the help files you'll be on your way to using all the features mIRC has to offer.

  Awesome, really couldn't get a better IRC Client for Windows.

  by: Dbproguy on 30-May-2008 08:20:53 PM

  Pros: There is lots of features, and if you aren't satisfied with what you have, there is virtually no limits to what you can do with scripting, and scripting is really simple once you get the hang of it. There is not one IRC Client for Windows that can beat mIRC. By the way in case you didn't notice, this is version 6.32. The few changes aren't really noticeable but I always like to have the newest version unless the new version really sucks (*cough*windows vista*cough)

  Best client for Windows

  by: Ghostly44 on 17-Jun-2008 09:30:20 AM

  Pros: Best client for windows hands down, using it for more than 2 years, it ran under wine, runs great on windows, and extremely customizable with the scripting language.

  Cons: Native Linux support, but Wine does a decent job at emulating it.
