I have been asked to help in a community project that I visited 
yesterday in Brighton. I noticed that the young people seemed to be 
prematurely "hooked" on MS's hotmail and messenger. While I know hotmail 
works fine with FLOSS clients, I have not tried using GAIM or similar as 
I have never felt the desire to use this IM thingie. Hopefully this 
question is not too far OT, but can anyone confirm that IM clients still 
work on linux desktops since the changes were made to the messenger 
protocol?
