Our issues with Messenger are that it is neither internal nor secure from
sniffing outside our network. We run Exchange 2003, so no Exchange IM, and
are unlikely to get Live! Communication Server any time soon. I realize that
there are products to encrypt Messenger traffic. But it then becomes hard to
convince the users in question that Messenger is "better for them" than the
IM service they are already using.

Winchat is there. There's not a lot to using it, except for our
administrative work to make it work, about which the users could care less.
I know it's not encrypted, but at least it stays local.
