MSN Messenger on WINE

    I was wondering if any of you knew which version of MSN will run on WINE? I have tried 7.0, 6.2 and 6.0 but they are to old to log in, and I believe 7.5 is XP only. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

    is there a reason you have to use msn messenger? I find pidgin just as handy now.

    I'm using Pidgin atm, I don't like it that much. aMSN crashes with my contact list, and I can never set up permissions right for Mercury. Isn't Kopete KDE only? I'll install KDE if I have to, I can't stand pidgin.

    GAIM/Pidgin became very buggy around the time of the name change IMHO. I don't think MSN on WINE will be a roaring success - for some reason I think it needs the .net framework - no idea if that works in WINE.

    I've used KDE, I used to prefer it to GNOME, but my opinion has changed now. I'm using Fedora 7 btw.

    I think you should be able to run most KDE apps in Gnome once you have the base KDE libraries installed.
