more about Google talk:

Google is spoiled and thinks everyone embraces their new experimental technology.

I think they got a little too excited when they released a bare-bones IM. I havent seen
such a simple messaging application since i build my own for a ipx/spx network back in 97. So no way that can do anything in the world of MSN's and ICQ's.
KISS is good but its not what the public wants when there are competiting messenger out that are all beyond version 7 ;)

Voip will ONLY be a succes when its combined with hardware (as in an usb phone) and MSN will win the IM/Voip battle in 2-3 years.. Or maybe skype if they find a way to infiltrate the IM market (where the application is used for at least 80% for text messages only).
