I am not sure they would be thinking this due to the advertising in the 
official client and the things it links to. I have not run the official 
client for a little while but it was full on with on-sell things as well as 
the advertising.

My webhost provides an option to setup a gateway and their wiki points out 
that the MSN plugin may not work from time to time as MSN changes the 
protocol.
