Pidgin IM vs MSN Messenger

,----[ Quote ]
| Pidgin is open-source
|
| An open-source software have many advantages: It’s free most of the time, and
| its source code is accessible, so you can be sure that no backdoor exists in
| the program
|
| Pidgin can deal with 16 IM protocol
|
| Of course, Pidgin works with the MSN protocol, but also on AIM, Bonjour,
| Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, Groupwise, ICQ, IRC, MySpaceIM, QQ, SILC, SIMPLE,
| Sametime, XMPP, Yahoo! Messenger and Zephyr, for a total of 16 IM protocols.
|
| Remember some years ago, when you had to download a new client just because
| the friend you wanted to talk to didn’t use the same protocol as you? With
| Pidgin, this time’s over.
| Note, Pidgin can also work with the Skype protocol.
|
| Pidgin is advertising-free
|
| Microsoft makes lots of money with the Windows Live Messenger ads. Pidgin
| developers aren’t that interested in money: The software is advertising-free,
| which results in more speed and less memory use.
