iChat on OS X 10.7 ?
I depend on iChat for screen sharing sessions with another Mac user. Both of us have OS X 10.6x installed. Will upgrading to OS 10.7 or 10.8 on either machine disable iChat?

HI,
Yes and no.
In Mountain Lion iChat becomes the new Messages App.
This adds the ability to send iMessages to iPhone Telephone Numbers and iOS devices using Apple IDs
AT OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6 you can send iMessages from your Mac as if they were from the iPhone Number.
iMessages are also displayed across all devices and computers using the Same Apple ID.
All the other functions of Chat remain including Screen Sharing.
At OS X 10.7.x you will have iChat 6
This does change the servers used to log in AIM based accounts/Screen Names.
It also adds the ability to Text Chat to Yahoo Buddies (It adds the ability to add a Yahoo Account to your List but it will only Text chat)
Messages Beta did come out during the period before Mountain Lion's release but you cannot download it now.
