The Quiet Internet Pager (QIP) is an instant messaging client. It is a closed source freeware developed by a Russian developer Ilham Zyulkorneev. Its most distinct feature is the tabbed message window -- instead of multiple message windows open when chatting with more people, only one window with several tabs is used.
