AIM

Forgive me if this has been asked a million times (I couldn't find it upon
searching). But, are there any plans to support the AIM protocol in the
near future?

Thanks!

This is something that I, and many others have wanted for so long but it has
never worked out. I don’t know if the hold up is AOL or Microsoft or
both...I can't stand using AIM but I have a lot of friends on there that are
not willing to switch because it is "what they are used to" lol

Greetings,

Nope.

Actually if you didn't already know, the first versions of MSN Messenger actually included
AIM support which AOL daily spent new ways of blocking and Microsoft put out new versions
daily to try to get around it.

Eventually Redmond gave up. I doubt they'd try something similar without hammering out some
sort of interop agreement like they did with Yahoo.
