I would use Google like you say, but I also have Yahoo IM and MSN accounts. Are there any other programs out there than Pidgin and Trillian? I use Pidgin currently and like it better than Trillian.

Google isn't trying to dominate desktop applications- its trying to dominate Web Applications, which, in one perspective, can one day replace the desktop all together. The philosophy behind such an idea is that with Web Apps, all your data goes everywhere a computer is. It is, after all, online. Right now, there even exists online desktops and other apps. As far as I can see, Google provides some of the best and well worked Web Apps, from their e-mail to search services to web docs. But, it is getting out of hand. Google is losing sight of what made it a grand name ... Google Search. While others are striving to better their algorithms (Live, Yahoo!, Ask), Google is buying this and that. Look at YouTube and others ... Bought for millions. Well, what can we do about it ? Google does what they think is best. What I do like, however, is that all this stuff is pressuring Microsoft to finally become innovative again. Apple, Google, Mozilla, Linux (its various distros), are finally stepping up their game. And as a result of Smith's philosophy, Microsoft will now strive to make better and superior products. Finally, OneCare has gotten better and more practical. Microsoft continues to give support for XP, while frantically fixing Vista. Office 2007 SP1 has turned out nicely. IE8 now complies with the Acid2 "standards." Microsoft certainly is trying, but they need to work harder. I'll interested to see how Vienna/7 comes out- MiniWin sounds like its gonna make XP AND VISTA machines fly ...
