Looks like google is trying to muscle in on MS's evil empire!
http://www.google.com/talk/index.html

But, with the majority of people using MSN, will it catch on do you think?

Actually it's plagiarism, not plagerism. And altough I don't know which instant messenger was first, I don't think it was windows messenger.

I won't start using it until someone integrates it as a part of some third party multi-network client. And not even then if that client isn't otherwise good.

I'm not sure, but I don't think anyone has a patent on IM's. After all, chat rooms are essentially really big IM centers.

Doesn't everyone have about 50? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

This one of the few things where I'll actually stick with Microsoft. MSN is just handier, since everyone already uses it pretty much.
