"Since its introduction iChat has become the de facto Instant Messaging client on Mac OS X, allowing users to communicate using text, audio, and even video chat. The new version of iChat in Leopard opens up these capabilities to other applications on the system, allowing those applications to provide content through an iChat session." My take: Now, if Apple would implement support for MSN and other protocols for those of us (especially in Europe) who do not use AIM/ICQ, this could be a whole lot more interesting.

Over here (The Netherlands) it's just pretty much the same like salgiza described the situation is Spain. I don't use instant messaging because everybody is using MSN and I avoid using Microsoft products as much as possible.
The dutch language has a verb for "being busy with instant messaging": "MSN-en". So MSN in holland is pretty much synonymous with IM-client.

I live in Spain and *everybody* uses MSN Messenger. For good or bad, Instant messaging got popular here when MS included Messenger with Windows. This basically makes iChat useless here, at least until it includes the ability to chat with MSN users...
