MattKen - happy to help.
Here are 5 things you can do in the new chat you couldn't do in the old one:
1) Share an image from your desktop
2) View your chat history from previous times you were in the chat room
3) See that the other person is typing their response
4) Send a private message when using a browser other then IE
5) See if the other person is Available, Busy or Away
And a bonus: (for Steve) include a large selection of smilies in your chat messages!
