Whoops, forgot one thing. A Windows port of GAIM eliminated the need for MSN. I considered using Trillian (which I use on my primary box) but since I decided early on that I would use GNU licensed programs, GAIM won the day.
The real elegance of the whole thing (IMO) is that it requires very little in the way of technical expertise to implement. The hardest part is learning the new GUI; seeing as you select it from the literally hundreds of themes available over at Litestep and are able to then cusomize it either through plugins or by actually hand-editing the appropriate files, it's really not all that hard to do.
