Windows Live Messenger running on Linux with Wine 1.1.14

Windows Live messenger on Linux? It is now possible with the series of versions 1.x.x Wine! Demonstration with Windows Live Messenger 8.5, but note that Windows Live Messenger 2009 running as well!

One more argument to switch to Linux! WLM fans can still use it on their Linux Desktop !
For others, I recommend Pidgin or Emesene, which are open source and very pleasant to use ...

There's something I don't understand. It's said that works for WLM2009 but I can't find the installer and the 2008 version doesn't work nowadays. Any user has got a better info about?

Look, if you have a sister who cannot leave her beloved MSN messanger, what do you do? you have no choice but to install this stupid program. Thank God Ubuntu lets you do this. I prefer Pidgin, 100% of the time.

@SkullXII Thats the point. Lots of people just use linux because they think that is cool (hackerz stuff and lame-i-believe-in-matrix-thing­s), but they still use WINE for everything. As you said, it's a pretty lame reason to use linux. You have a good reason and thats why Linux is your best option.
