Gtalk should provide the feature of signing in invisible mode, giving us (the users) the freedom of signing in way we want.
In comparison Yahoo provides an option of logging in as well as switching to the invisible mode after logging in.

Yeah very true.. there are a lot of things that we need in GTalk.
But one thing i found out very recently was the Group Chat in GTalk.
I used to do this a lot in Yahoo.
Now i am very happy that most of my contacts are in GMail and i can group chat.
You can use this link to try Group Chat

Yahoo is actually a pioneer in messenger and chat field. Invisible mode with stealth settings(one of the best innovation in any application ever),picture sharing,games and now integration with windows live,they have everything.. I have not been able to find one real good enhancement to yahoo messenger,they are integrating with yahoo mail now. And already they have a web messenger that looks like the desktop yahoo messenger.

Something I've noticed in some common user-apps
1) Windows Media Player 11 doesn't retain the now playing playlist after closing and opening again,It was there in WMP10 and 9.
2) Firefox crashes every other time when there is a flv based advertisement on that page.
3) If you cancel a download in firefox or IE you will have to start fresh. IDM and other download managers rock in this area.
4) IDMs latest new feature,if you cancel a automatic file download box 3 times from a specific site it asks whether to block that automatic file download from next time, Yes!! It'll never bug you again.
5) Wordweb 5.0 with web references integrated in app only.
