What is your favourite IM client? I personally use MSN the most, i find it to be very stable and i love the clean interface, the logos are also preety cool. The latest version is however lacking....the new features they added make it feel like it was designed for a five year old.

I actually hate aim, it doesn't impress me at all and i find it difficult to use! I have never tried ICQ and i find yahoo to be a copy of msn.

What is your favourite IM client and why?

I like aim, I find it easy to use, compared to icq which I have tried. I like im mostly aim because all my friends use it that go to my school and none of them use msn or such. I use msn tho to communicate with my canadaian cousin because they seem to use msn a lot there (him and all his friends do).

windows messenger is easily the best. it's not bloated like msn, it has the best gui, it doesn't have the horribly sounds aim does, it's the closest to aim, but has a better look so it winds by the 1 point.

i'd use aim, but all the people i deal with in real life are computer users, but outside desktop publishing - by which i mean typing homework in ms word - are computer illiterate so the flashy 5 year old features used in msn appeal to them, and i'm forec between using msn and talking to people or aim and talking with 3 people.

oh the burden of choice.

msn 3 was the been knees. windows messenger is as close as i'll ever get to msn3 again.

Trillian was good back in the day, but now all it ever ends up doing is missing key features that others (usually always MSN) adds to their own. Remember how long it took display pictures to be added to Trillian for MSN?

I am also voting on MSN.

I only use Msn and Aim, and prefer Msn over the two.
