You know how MSN got so big, don't you?
It was bundled with Windows XP (Well, "Windows Messenger"). Oh, and the forced Windows XP Passport upon first bootup-after-install helped Microsoft gain marketshare, too.
Personally I wish everyone would just accept the fact that ICQ had all the nice features before everyone else did, shut up already and some how would start to interoperate with all the other IM protocols out there.
Or everyone should just start using Jabber. Either is fine with me. =)
I say stop using bloated IM programs, personally and use third party clients such as Miranda IM.
