Advantages to using the windows client include:

1. Faster and Easier Use
   There is no need to wait for a new web-page to load every time you want to do something new. Instant messages , and messages in private conversations and chat rooms are sent instantly to other users rather than sometimes waiting a few seconds like in a web browser. Also, most features can be performed through less mouse clicks than the web-browser.

2. Less Intrusive
   You can leave BigFirmOnline Chat and Forums running while performing other tasks, and can choose to be interrupted by a sound and/or a flashing icon when new messages arrive as opposed to the web-browser which pops up new messages when they arrive. The Windows client also nicely minimizes to a small icon next to the clock to prevent cluttering up your task bar.
