Did I say I wanted voice?

What I really want is to quickly identify a user in my friends list. The 
native Windows clients for MSN and Yahoo! Messenger have a nice feature 
where you can get that information very quickly and within the client 
itself.  AIM has a similar one as well.

THAT is what I really want. I frankly don't care about voice or video.
