?? You can already use that with msn messenger and with every single .net passport thingie (connect.microsoft.com per example). My net passport is a gmail email, per example. all you have to do is to register the email at http://www.passport.net and you'll be able to use it in msn messenger/windows messenger and in other services!!
Indeed... the .NET Passport has got not much todo with what you can use as IM program.
Though, in the early days, when .NET Passport didn't existed yet as they do now, you only could sign in with a hotmail or other MS related email address. But since years and years, since the .NET service was born, you can sign in with any MS IM program using your .NET Passport.
And a .NET Passport can be anything you like, it does not need to be an email from MS at all. Though MS emails are automatically also .NET Passports.....
