I found no free irc client for Windows which supports 4.2 (show multiple channels as windows inside the main application at the SAME time).
- IceChat (default skin is like for kids who think they are hackers)
- HexChat (looks more like a Unix Window, nice, simple, works)
There are many other chat clients, but I tested these and they seemed ok. They are free, so they more than ok :-)
