Actually GAIM is quite good too, however one has to expect Yahoo and the
others to raise revenue to pay for their "Free" services which do not come

I was merely pointing out that the accusation aimed at MS (whether there is
genuine trojan activity or not) is rather silly since the genuine product
does actually warn you that you should expect targeted ads.
