You see I have AIM 7 and I have it linked with my facebook account, AIM retains my AIM sign-in name and yet I can chat with my facebook contacts.
It's not that the Facebook integration
forces it to be real names over nicknames, but it's been done that way in order to fit in with the social integration with the Live Profiles and Facebook, etc so that it's a common name across all platforms and you know who you're speaking to without having to look at e-mail addresses past 'display names'
