you could try it with wine, but I don't think It would work seamlessly.

i have that samething but it is diffrent u can't talk in camera and other things u just only talk how can i download those kind og things u have???

[ItsAllLinux]

Since Windows Live Accounts dominates the instant messaging market, its got the most support. For voice and camera conferences, you need aMSN. It's got the most features out there.

Pidgin's pretty lightweight, but it supports loads of services.

[Elmira95]

ok thanks i'll try

[comebackata2]

but all of my friends and family uses yahoo messenger ...

[ItsAllLinux]

Sorry. But there isn't much of a support for Yahoo Messenger on linux. We're expecting a new IM-ing client called "Digsby" soon, but at this point, there isn't much to do.

[ItsAllLinux]

BTW, Pidgin isn't bad. It's got features which you need to start a text messaging conference with file transfer but just lacks features like voice and video conference.

[comebackata2]

I didn't say that it was bad ... I just can't use my yahoo account which has all of my contacts on Pigdin ... can I?

[ItsAllLinux]

yes you can.

[comebackata2]

OH? I thought u can only use your yahoo account on yahoo messenger! thanks!

[ItsAllLinux]

Sorry if i made you misunderstand. I'm just saying that Pidgin, although not as many features as aMSN and others is the only client current supporting Yahoo and various other ones.
