MSN Messenger

I installed aMSN this morning for a quick evaluation. Last time I looked at aMSN was over a year ago.

Why:
1.) Looking for an alternative for one of our home machines
1.) MSN support in Pidgin/Gaim feels flacky and outdated
2.) Pidgin does not have a kiosk mode, where a user can fill-in his username + password and login

aMSN features include:
- webcam support
- file transfer protocol
- Most important, an experience, similar to MSN on Windows

no opinion yet, but it looks like an alternative for some users

Any thoughts if this will work with Microsoft Live Communications Server ? I've been looking for a LCS client on linux for about a year without much success.
