It means that he has not talked, moved his mouse, or anything for some period of time..

cheers m8...was jus interested...so basically when it says idle..then the PC is not being touched at all ??? ...so when they move mouse etc, then am guessin the idle changes to online in the event log?

Yes, if there idle then yes there not doing anything at all. And Yes, I assume that it does that in the chat logs, but im not 100% sure

So does this work only when the other contact has MSN plus or how does this work?

It is MSN Messenger itself that knows whether your contact is Idle or really Away when s/he's status is changed to Away. Plus! just records it down

How can I view the idle time using msn plus

If a user goes idle, this status change will be visible in the Contact Information. Also, it will be visible in the Event Log Viewer.

so if in the contact information it just says "Away" but not idle the person is really at their computer?  After how many minutes does it say Idle?

You can have a choice for taht, or that could be to go to away. sorry, but if not, its either in msn personal settings or msgplus preferences>general> miscellaneous.
