New MSN Compatable With AIM? by Kaatt86 on 04-17-2008 at 07:19 PM

Hey,

I know I've seen this topic a few times on the forums but they're all 5 years out of date.

So, my question is, after 5 years, is there ANY addons or ways to add AIM contacts to Windows Live?

Please don't tell me to "Use Trillian" or something similar. I have ONE contact from AIM that I wish to add. I have used Trillian in the past. I hate it. I wish to use MSN.

Hopefully time has allowed for something... *-)

As iof right now, no. The only connectivity to other protocols right now is with Yahoo Messenger

No, Not at the moment.
That feature Might Be in For the final Release of Windows Live Messenger 9.0 though

Any idea when they're planning on releasing 9.0?


RE: New MSN Compatable With AIM? by duck! on 04-17-2008 at 07:37 PM

Late 2008 or Early 2009
