Yahoo! Messenger has been around since 1998, and it has been through many changes since then. If you choose to download a new version of Yahoo! Messenger when it is released, you may decide you liked your old version better. Fortunately, websites like oldversion.com, oldapps.com and old-versions.net allow you to download previous versions of your favorite programs so you don't have to be stuck with an update that you are unhappy with.
