Emesene supports tabs out of the box.

There are - as far as I know - no clients that support Voiceclips and/or Drawing.

Well, I just found out aMSN can view drawings, so that program probably allows people to send drawings.

Ubuntu sounds so much nicer than Windows XP. I don't like the idea of sticking to an operating system I don't like just to be able to use one program I really like. I'll admit that I like WLM 8.5 a lot more than WLM 9 though.

Heres a good tutorial:

Not sure how to get Messenger Plus! working though.

Oh, awesome. I just hope I can get Messenger Plus to work. There's no way I would stick to WLM without the tabs feature. >_>

I don't think Pidgen has the drawing feature or gives users the ability to chat through headsets. I hope I'm wrong though.
