XYZ has invited you to try Google Talk
Wow, exciting times! I get an invitation to participate in the next step of Google's strategy of Non-Evil World Domination™.
I've been using Google Talk and thought you might like to try it out. We can use it to call each other for free over the internet. Here's an invitation to download Google Talk. Give it a try!
Cool! Free chats via the intarweb! But there must be a catch, ah yes:
Google Talk is a downloadable Windows application that offers: ...
Curses. Three different OSes at my disposal, all of varying degrees of non-evilness, and still they can't get it right.
Update: in all fairness I should point out that the download page does at least explictly address the woes of heterogenic operating system users: Mac and Linux users can connect to Google Talk using other IM clients
