aMSN 0.95 Released 213
An anonymous reader writes "After more than a year since their last update aMSN has published version 0.95. New features include 'webcam support, tabbed chat windows, improved skin plugin support, new file transfer protocol, many new plugins (like Ink and Nudge support), an improved bug report system, as well as LOTS of bug fixes.' In addition to many new features and fixes the aMSN site has been given a face lift to (hopefully) facilitate ease of use."

It's really interesting, actually... To talk to people all over the world you generally need AIM and MSN. Perhaps YIM, but the people who *only* use YIM are few and far between.

I live in Brazil. My only exclusively-AIM-or-Yahoo contacts are from people in the US. Most of my list is still ICQ because that was the "big one" here years ago, and I say "still" because most new users go to MSN and lots of the ICQ "early adopters" (me included) now have MSN accounts as well. So, I guess in order of popularity, it's:
USA: AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ
Brazil: MSN, ICQ, AIM, Yahoo
Other countries, anyone?

don't you think it's actually pretty rational that something as easy as a damn msn client is written in a language that makes the code 3-5 times shorter and easier to read ? many of your favourite tools in linux are written in C or use a bash scripts to start up complicated applications, i see no whiners there
anyway, my problem is that amsn has crashed a lot on me. the tcl/tk has had issues with 2.6.x kernel line and tended to deadlock after some point. amsn ran fine with 2.4.x kernel line, but since 2.6.x came along it has been rather unstable and thats why i use gaim right now.
however, gaim is YEARS back in it's msn support and amsn obviously is ahead here.
