    Is there a good, stable messenger that works with all or most others?

    Use this .Perfect solution for you.Watch about this limitations,but after that you will have no probs of any kind.

    Limitations:
    This program by default will try to install
    * The Weather Channel Desktop
    * Ask Toolbar

    You have to make sure you uncheck the install of the Weather Channel Desktop

    Also for Ask Toolbar you have to uncheck to items
    1. Enable address bar search feature
    2. I accept the license agreement and want to install the free Ask Toolbar

    I also use Trillian, without the add-ons. Works well for me. :major Bazza

    Pidgin, hands down. It also supports OTR.

    It also adheres to the Vista windows decorations scheme (Aero), unlike Windows Live Messenger, roflmao.

    For whatever reason, Konqueror isn't letting me edit.

    Anyway, its also free, and full featured, unlike Trillian, which you have to buy for the full product.

    Lanfear, keep the links in-house, please.
