RE: ping
I doubt that it's possible. I think it isn't because MSN Messenger works with the system clock which only goes down to seconds. Correct me if I'm wrong or have explained it incorrectly. :)

RE: ping
The normal PC system clock actually ticks with a frequency of 1/18 of a second IIRC... (and then there is also a high-definition clock which have an even higher frequency)

I think it is quite possible to make it in milliseconds depending on the method being used. Although the question is how reliable that figure would be I think...

RE: ping
API methods to use timers usually take millisecond arguments. So, making the ping return a millisecond value shouldn't be too difficult.
