Hmmm, that would suck! I'm consused, didn't M$ actualy help the Trillian folks before by telling them all the port/protocol details so they could intergrate better support sometime back? Anyway, how can they completely block MSN from these 3rd party clients such as Trillian, Miranda IM, GaIM? AOL IM tried to block itself from Trillian a long time ago, does anyone remember that? But the Trillian folks would release patches each time AOL did the "block" and they where succesful with that.

Miranda has had a v8 MSN protcal plugin for some time, and is far better than any free or none free IM software
