    I am installing Live Messenger on a VM. It's 100 MB now !!! How did it become OK for a chat app to be that big ?

    I'd assume that it can integrate itself with stuff like facebook, twitter and other rubbish. It has new themes, and it can make 100 different annoying noises (simultaneously) when an instant message arrives. This makes it not just a chat app, but much more than that (I'm sure they have a marketing term for that).

      Does that come with Silverlight plug-in? I believe they're trying to push Silverlight adoption via Live Messenger.

          My core issue is that I have one friend who insists on always appearing to be offline, so I never know if she is there, but only live messenger lets me talk to her.

          You should have just bought the shoes, when you saw she liked them.

              I've been using meebo for a few months, it does everything I need. Skype support would be pretty cool though
