People just need to register their emails through Microsoft Passport, weather it be gmail, Yahoo, AOL or w/e and they will work on MSN regardless. I've done it with gmail before now, and I got AOL and (obviously) Yahoo users on my contact list.
Just a case of lack of information or people just wanting to use other clients
