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.
Actually my bad, wrong choice of words. I didn't mean a GUI, but more of all those little msn plugins that came into the N900 a while after its release. I think they were 3 of them? Pecan being one of them. I would also hate a GUI-like MSN application and LOVED the integration part of the OS/UI. But that's what I meant. Now to add MSN support on the N900, all one has to do is download and install a simple package from the reps and it will appear on the UI of the Accounts page. That's pretty much all i want...lol, a UI on the Account page where I can easily enter and change my information at will. I'd rather avoid the terminal if not urgently needed...
