In case you hadn't heard the news, Google has just officially released Google Talk, a new Windows-based multi-protocol instant messaging and VoIP solution which supports open standards like XMPP and transparently interconnects with other popular IM platforms.
AOL has countered with an update to AIM. While some suspect the new AIM client is specifically engineered to eliminate any chance of interoperability with Google Talk, my suspicion is that AOL was rushing a bug correction to the market place before a severe security hole was uncovered and exploited. I welcome proof to the contrary, however.
