The version of iChat that comes with Leopard now allows for tabbed chat windows. Instead of having a seperate window open for every chat conversation, you can have one window with a tab for each buddy. This popular feature of Adium is a welcomed addition to iChat.

1. Click the iChat menu
2. Select Preferences
3. Select the Messages tab
4. Check Collect chats into a single window





Now the iChat window will be tabbed...
