Default Instant Messaging
Ok.. my chica uses Msn Messenger, with video..

I like MSN, but i friggin hate the ads. Anyone found a IM that works with MSN video fully that is ad free? or a working ad removal tool? Ive tried Digsby (havent tested the vid yet) and Miranda.. (too complicated.. i like to tinker, but thats ridiculous)... thoughts?

Miranda too complicated? It's probably the simplest piece of software I've ever come across. It's also the lightest of all the instant messaging programs that I've used.

You're probably better off sticking with Windows Live Messenger though.
There's a patch called A-Patch. You can use it to remove the annoying ads, and also a lot of other crap that you don't really need. It's also extremely easy to apply, with a step by step guide when you're applying it.

Link; A-Patch for Windows Live Messenger, MSN Messenger & Yahoo! Messenger

I don't see the ads - I just minimise msn as soon as I have opened my conversations. I don't even notice them. There is a tiny text hyperlink at the bottom of each window but I didn't even know it was there until I checked now. They don't bother me at all.

The little ad link in the chat windows aren't so bad... I think the OP is mainly talking about the big one in the contacts window. Which can be annoying at times and also increases Messengers memory usage, whether it's minimized or not. Luckily it doesn't affect my system (8GB RAM =P) so I don't worry about the patch to get rid of it.

The ads are that intrusive imo

Does Pidgin support webcams (video)?

Does Pidgin support MSN video chat?

Not currently. It is planned. See below."


Right from the site.
