Looks like the beta version of MSN Messenger now supports multiple connections from different locations at the same time, something that has bothered me a lot and made me switch to Jabber that had that feature since the beginning (circa 2000).
It’s sad that only now Microsoft realised people want to be logged in different devices at the same time, say you desktop computer, your notebook right next to it, and your mobile phone when you want to make a break in the sofa.
On the other hand this may be the first step to make MSN more XMPP-like so they start supporting it later on. Or this is just me dreaming?
