they package it with windows, and use hotmail accounts. so basically if ppl want instant messaging, msn is the most accessible
the whole idea of .net passports wos to create the idea of having 1 login for every website, or at least lots of websites. And i think that its free to use passports on ur own site.
So that bits sorted.
The packaging with windows, well you could probably get it stuffed into a lot of other programs like KaZaA lite and stuff, so people get it installed on their PC.
And an idea with funding, a lot of people have those programs that lets other people do calculations on ur pc and stuff, for cancer
research. And a lot of universities pay people to do that, so u cud get some university to pay you, and then you bundle a bit of software that will install it.
However, this is all dreaming, a new messenger is impractical, and will take too long to do
