I'm running Vista Ultimate and was wondering if there was a decent universal
instant messenger (IM) client out there that would make my access to
Microsoft Messenger, AIM, Facebook Chat, etc. transparently available --
that is to give me one standard interface for all of the IMs I currently
years? A buddy of mine claims that Apple/Macintosh is ultimately successful
this whereas Vista falls flat on its face -- he's not right is he?
 
Why not ask your "buddy" what specific "universal instant messenger"
he's referring to since natively Vista does not include any IMs?
 
He is now a Macintosh fan -- and is not available online right now or I
would. I recall it starting with either "At" or "Al"

Look at either Pidgin or Trillian.
