Google Talk was a nice little application that lived happily on the corner of my desktop, very unobtrusively, only the icon blinking when someone wrote a message. Of course it would open a window the first time that I got a hail, but it was a little window that didn't bring up the whole browser. On the iPad and the iPhone, it played nice with such third party messanging services as IM+ and Trillian.
And like Goggle Reader and the Destop applications, it is being axed. Not just "unsupported" but eliminated. This morning I logged in to this message: Google Talk app for Windows will stop working on Feb 16 2015. It is replaced by the new Hangouts Chrome app. Install the Hangouts app from http://goo.gl/yglfk6
Hangouts. Hangouts that opens a browser window, that insists on loading when the PC boots up, that wants to hijack the entire monitor with great regularity. This doesn't work for me!
It is no use complaining to Google -- they only care about what they want even while touting every change as an improvement in the user experience. It isn't, and saying that it is doesn't make it so! Just like "Inbox", you are replacing my own structure of files and folders with your own concoction and expecting ME to change to accomodate you.
I am not happy with you, Google. Not happy at all. Now I have to find a replacement application that meets my needs.
