Question MSN-compatible iChat??

Is it likely Apple will bring out a version of iChat that's compatible with MSN?

Do we have some iChat-insiders here?

No MSN is not opening its standard.

The only solution would be that MSN makes its own iChat plug-in (with some way to advertise, of course).

MSN has some proprietary technologies for MSN messenger (as do Netscape for IM), and their layers suit people that use it.

toast will become famous soon enough
Red face Additionally…

Plus, Proteus and Fire may be MSN compatible…_Proteus doesn't work well with MSN at the moment, and Fire won't work many things that MSN does (multiuser conversation, file transfer…)

What I hope is a chat standard ...
