Hey, they could always pull an Apple and "revolutionize" the industry by creating an OS that doesn't require a restart every time something updates or installs or works.
I'm not sure where I'll migrate to for my IM needs though. Is Skype any good? Never considered it before since I avoid VOIP programs like the plague. What about multi-IM programs like Trillian? Is that still any good? All I want is a low memory, small footprint type program with a reasonably appealing to the eyes design to talk to people from my MSN contact list.
