    After trying Miranda & Trillian .. aMSN is a very good clone. Where it goes wrong is webcamchat conversations with Wiindows Live Messenger users. I hope this is fixed in 0.98.3. It can be a portforwarding issue but I am not shure...
    Edit: Because Microsoft changed their protocols A/V support stopped unfortunately
    Lots of skins available for every mood and dark ones for your sleepy eyes and who discovers aMSN is newer looking back to Live Messenger again... 5 stars and who sayed that this clone is unnessary I can say : Live Messenger isn't nessary!! aMSN rocks!!

    @LakotaElf:

    The thing is, those who can buy RAM would have aready bought it if they needed instead of complaining about bloated programs. The fact is though, there are plenty of people who can't:
    a) Afford it, or use the money for higher priorities (what with the recession and all)
    b) Are not able to find a compatible RAM for their setup (For instance, RD RAM)
    c) Have no more room on their mobo for more RAM, or their mobo can't support higher density modules

    It's because of these scenarios that there exists plenty of light alternatives, or that companies are making lighter products (eg Norton 2009).

    Anyways, the RAM for aMSN doesn't go wasted as it makes up for the features. Things like webcam support work perfectly while other alternative programs don't even include it. Most of the useful features of MSN have have been implemented, making aMSN a really good, viable alternative for MSN Messenger users.

    But for those who have multiple accounts at Yahoo, GTalk, AIM etc, I would recommend Pidgin or Miranda.

    This seems pretty good to me, I like it. As for it using more RAM, yes it does but I have 3 gig of RAM in a XP machine so it is ok with me. Using a little more ram is not so bad, sometimes it is necessary, all software works differently and RAM has come way down in price so buy some more to get programs you really want.

    Works perfectly for me. It has all the features I want and it's all so clean!
