        ...at least that's how it feels. I just downloaded and installed Windows Live Messenger* and suddenly all I get from the Windows Live server is an unstyled page saying 'Service Unavailable". There's clearly no cause and effect going on, but it gives me an insight into some of the emails I occasionally get: "I posted a message and broke the servers" "I uploaded an image and broke the servers" "I made disparaging remarks about John Simmons and my computer just exploded in a ball of molten metal" * Whatever happened to plain old "Windows Messenger" as a name...

                Does Pidgin still work with using hotmail accounts? I tried the other day but all it said was "Unable to connect", but WLM connected straight away.

                I know you believe you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize what you heard is not what I meant.

                    my ms communicator 2007 v2.x shows some kind of error... Error: "Cannot synchronize with the corporate address book because the file could not be found. Contact your system administrator with this information." did you break that too? hahaha i agree pidgin is a good tool, xmpp based products are pretty much the standard i suppose

                      I'm happy to back you up on this. Just remember, when you get your religion established and it's time to start sacrificing virgins, I better invited to the parties. :)

                      Oh, you'll get invited, all right. What, you didn't think they were going to sacrifice female virgins, did you?

                        Funny, I could've sworn it went down because they detected my first attempt to use SharedView with an actual customer.

                            Yep, I have a hotmail account, and I'm connected to it via Pidgin. Also on my GMail, Yahoo. and AIM.
