I think MSN is the best for chatting, but for file transfers I use Skype.
i find file transfers on Skype a nightmare. i use MSN Messenger the most. It has the best features and most of my friends use it. I use Skype mainly coz a family member uses it (although her daughter is trying to convert her to MSN Messenger) and Google Talk (only 1 person uses it that doesn't use MSN Messenger). If it wasn't for these reasons, i would stick with only using MSN Messenger

Hate to say this, Sean but AIM Has More users than MSN Messenger does, just that those users May not use the AIM Client , if i remember this is why part of the reason why Yahoo an MSN has merged to beat AIM Lead in the IM market
Yahoo and Microsoft will now command upwards of 44 percent of the market, according to research firm Radicati Group, putting new pressure on market leader AOL, which holds around 56 percent market share with AIM and ICQ. And according to recent comScore Media Metrix numbers, MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger together reach 33.5 million unique users each month, more than the 23 million running AIM.

Yes, AIM may be the most popluar, but as far as i know it is mainly used in America. In most other parts of the world MSN Messenger is used most. (Correct me if i am wrong, this is what i have read, and what i think)
