windows live messenger

Horness:
I'm using it, although I really hope it's less of a ball ache than IE7.

Interface is nice (very Vista), and it's getting more in line with the "Microsoft Live Anywhere" solution they are touting which brings together XBox Live and Windows based communities/gaming.

I still prefer Windows Messenger though - no fuss, no mess, it does exactly what it says on the tin.  :D

ICQ is the spawn of evil - its old and nasty, and as said above just gets spammed!

AIM - well, that's AOL's version of MSN and once again the spawn of evil like most things to do with AOhelL!!

strapping young lad:
icq was the more popular messenger before msn came about

windows messenger wasnt really that good and icq was quite commonplace until msn was made public and people started to like it.

aim is aol's version, used it once, didnt like it, binned it

Damonski:
Windows Messenger is a completely different product compared to MSN messenger.

Windows Messenger has SIP telephony and the ability to connect to local Exchange servers, these are not available in MSN.

Windows Messenger is intended for corporate use, MSN is for home use (hence the reason is plastered with adverts within the app ;) )

and finally icq is owned by aol now ;)

and finally icq is owned by aol now, providing you configure your client correctly, icq spam is no more. (I have been on ICQ for over 10 years!)
