It means that you dont need to use Pecan at all - you just configure as a standard jabber/xmpp connection which the N900 supports brilliantly out of the box.

I have to use MSN unfortunately for work - and this is really good news!

EDIT I just went to look at the specifics and of course this is Microsoft... so while they really have opened up xmpp/jabber access to live... they've made it semi-proprietary. 1) The app has to be "signed" which makes zero sense in the O/S world... 2) The only authentication protocol support is the new facebook OATH2 - which no clients support 3) there is no federation - so you cant talk to other users on other xmpp services like googletalk for instance using your msn live account.

It wont work work on your N900. At least for now.
