I'll try out xchat, I had chatzilla before but I didn't really like it.

@Benjamin: Thanks for the list but I was looking for personal opinions/recommendations. I have done my research, unfortunately I didn't find what I wanted.

The win32 build has never been free. It even says "30 day trial" on the page you linked to

Pidgin supports IRC, it's really good and I've used it for the past year or so.

its hardly a month old. I appreciate his contribution, kvirc is quite interesting. I forgot to uninstall the trial version of xchat, so when I installed the free version they clashed and now neither works, dropping me back to mIRC.

Oh big deal, seriously. People seem to still want to discuss this so let them, don't be annoying.
Bumping 3 month old threads, that's what you shouldn't do.
