What would you say advantages of AMSN are over Gaim, i have not really had any issues with with gaim except for the random crash, but i am running the beta's for 2.0.0
Gaim is a general purpose instant messaging client designed to work with most protocols available, supporting the least common denominator of all of them. aMSN, on the other hand, is designed specifically with MSN in mind and tries to support as many MSN-specific features as possible. For example, it has support for custom animated smileys, nudges, etc. MSN users are known for using lots of graphics like animated smileys and flash graphics when communicating, and aMSN provides at least part of that functionality in Linux.
