Someone said with MSN7 you can add AIM people, is this true?

reason i'm asking is cause i need to talk to someone who has AIM and wont/cant install MSN/YIM.

I REALLY dont want to install AIM so i was wondering if this was true, if not then i'll look into some other cross client which can add it cause i hate AIM!

secondly, if its not true i wont upgrade to MSN7 cause they wont let you remove the tabs, which i think is crap cause i never use them and they're a waste of space.

so is it?

As far as I know, there is no way to add AIM contacts to MSN Messenger, no matter which version you use.

But, if you want to, you can use Trillian.

Screw trillian, Find a Web based AIM and get Tabmgr to have AIM in your Msn Messenger. If you like MSN more than AIM use the Tab Strategy, If you like AIM more than MSN then dont use the tab strategy cuz your not gona have the same features as you would using AIM Program Client aposed to the Webbased cliient. I don''t realy use AOL cuz i think it sucks.

TABS ISNT A WASTE OF SPACE!!! I have Newin, Google, Hotmail, Plus!, Alerts, Odigo + Chikka + WebMsn + Web Yahoo + ICQ2GO (all Chat CLient Web based Service) Noton Virus Alert, XiaoXiao, and ALl the Bittorent Web based CLients.

I also Removed some Defult Tabs like MSN Stocks and all that other crap I dont need. Tabs are the best, you just have to know how to use em.

Putting the Webbased Chat Clients into to MSN Tabs are the only way to have a Trillian Like Enviroment. I have GOogle in my MSN Messenger... I bet trillian doesnt... thats why i say trillian sucks.. cuz you cant expand or Extend its capabilites  like msn Messenger. Trillian also sucks cuz theres no Plus! 3 (Like Mentioned on my Previus Post)

If you like here is website to Tabmgr: http://tabserve.msnfanatic.info/


BTW im not flaming at Trillian, I just like MSN MEssenger More than triliian and I have 70% of my Contact using Msn MEssenger. Basicly cuz Trillian Doesnt Allow your Contacts to see your FOnt Syle and Avatar when your Sending messegas to people that arnt on trillian. And I like the GUI on Msn messenger.

You also cant reseve Video Feed Back when your on Trillian when some one is requesting you to see his/her webcam on msn messenger. And you cant send video feed back ither. Sure if people switched to Trillian it would be better, but MSN Messenger has alot more Stuff you can Do.

There was talk, a long time ago, of MSN and AIM talking about making it possible in the future to do so...This was nicknamed "When the two giants start talking...".
Many of us couldn't wait for this to happen, but after that statement of the talks no one has heard anything...But at present 7.0 has no known plans to implement this...I have no doubt in the future this may happen, but we've got a few more versions to wait before that.

This is because IE is going to be more built into Windows. Another way MS is abusing it's hold on the market.
