: Presumably you all use Skype or something else. Like Facebook.

: I realize I'm probably being overly defensive and ranting. My apologies. I

I feel you, MSN is still best service hands down glad that fan made patch can still keep it alive. can't stand Skype but unfortunately I have to use Facebook's client due to circumstance, I hate that my arms twisted to use such a limited service to just chat with my buddies.

I heard Trillian and Pidgin may get shut off due to some 3rd party support being cut off from Skype, is that true?
