Well that depends...

If Microsoft makes a 'windows live messenger' app as a self-contained thing, then I wouldn't be interested in it at all. One of the great features of maemo is the contacts/IM framework: every account merges into the global contacts, and the messages are all held together with the text messages.

If they made a proper plugin, then maybe. It wouldn't be that different than what we're doing here, and I'd definitely switch to it because it would be supported. But would MS make a telepathy plugin for the MSN protocol?? :roflollocopter:

I'm waiting for Felipe to port msn-pecan over though. That would pretty much solve the problem.
