Hmm, well, I heard about that, but I still have access using KDE-based kopete 
(http://kopete.sourceforge.net/).  GAIM (Gtk-based) is nice, too (http://
gaim.sourceforge.net/).  According to GAIM's web page, they have supported 
the new protocol for quite some time, so it sounds like MS is just trying to 
scare people into using MSNIM.  :-)
