But does this mean that I will (for instance) be able to use my hotmail account to communicate with people of the Gtalk network even if I don't have a Gtalk account ? Or will I still need an account on both services in order for that interoperability to work ? It’s nice that MS acknowledge the existence of other networks out there.

Sorry about the vague naming … it was just me forgetting that there are other “messengers” with “messenger” in the name. I’ve used MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger for such a long time and have always just called it “messenger.” My mistake…

Besides, I'm not sure, but I think that you don't get all the functionality MSN has if you're talking from WLM to a friend on Yahoo! Messenger. I run Miranda so I never bothered to find it by myself :PI wonder if the next step will be IRC :lol: netster007x wrote:

But I'll consider Live messenger only when they add H.264 or equivalent high quality conferencing and group audio-video chat. Wow, I’m surprised at MS’s interoperability.

First Microsoft and Yahoo team up, then Google and AIM, and now this. I'm definitely liking where this is heading. I’m really surprised at all of the interoperatability that has been going on.

Individual services could add their own special things (games, file transfer, group, voice etc.) but if Jabber were used then at least the basic text messaging would spread across all the networks. Unless M$ are actually collaborating with Google (which I doubt) then I'd guess they're using their own XMPP transport servers, which Google are probably already using for the AIM compatibility and which already provide a link when people run private ones.
