The default software does not support MSN, however there will be additional plugins on the way. In talking with those that are working on it, they are expecting to release sometime around the N900's release or a little after it and will take the form of plugins for the main IM program that you would download from the App manager.

As for video chat, the current version of telepathy-butterfly ready for MSN is 0.5.0 and video chat was added just the version after that. The guys working on bringing these additional chat protocols to Maemo 5 are aware and interested in getting it to work, however there's no way to predict when/if video chat over MSN will make it.

More information coming when I get it.
