    Yeah. The crossover plugin works great. But the thing is Gaim talks to
    them all and unless you get the Pro version of Trillian ..then it won't
    talk to MSN after the protocal change either. So they would have to
    count the CrossOver plugin and the Trillian Pro client as one purchase
    which isn't that cheap and kinda sucks. But I guess it's pretty
    expensive to run an IM network which is the ONLY reason I don't hold
    this against MS.
