[JDEV] Windows XP and IM

[John Alex Hebert]

Mike,

I'm no fan of M$, let me state for the record. But I kinda thought that M$'s use of SIP in the XP version of MSN Messenger was a big deal and will lead to the
use of SIP in the Jabber effort. SIP is pretty impressive on the face of it. Are there other opinions on SIP?

For those who are willing to delve into the belly of the beast:
