To whom it may concern

I will no longer use MSN messenger services. Reasons:

• Does not work properly with my client of choice (pidgin on linux). I can login, logout, change my nick, but I can’t CHAT! And it is not pidgin’s fault. It fails intermitently, so it must be their service;
• Does not work properly even with Microsoft’s own client on Windows. File transfer are a mess, voice chat is sub-par;
• The official client sucks badly;
• Most of my contacts there are happy gmail users who, in turn, have access to GoogleTalk;
• MSN has no further “killer” feature keeping me there.

Therefore, I will move to GoogleTalk jabber-based services, which has an excellent support in alternative platforms (as it is based on an open protocol), has a amazingly good official client and it is accessible for anyone with their web interface.

So, if you feel like talking to me, please use the aforementioned service. My contact is the same e-mail as it was in MSN.

I strongly advise everyone to do the same. Thanks for your attention.
