MSN: Adium and Pidgin unable to login

Looks like Microsoft has been making some changes in their MSN servers and protocols.

Since that change, both Adium and Pidgin clients can’t login. I don’t want to turn this personal, but I think it’s not an ethical decision from the Microsoft Engineers.

Millions of Unix users will not be able to use this service, and I am sure that the responsables for this update knew it…

Right now there is not much information about this subject.

Looks like it is still possible to login with:

• Microsoft clients, of course
• Adium 1.3.1
• aMSN 0.97.2 ( the one I am using right now)

I’ll try to find other alternatives for Linux.. It’s a very important service for me and I hate aMSN

Please let me know if you find more solutions.

UPDATE: looks like this problem was solved by Microsoft. Not this time…false alarm! :)
