	Connection wise I haven't experienced any problems. Some
	friends of mine on windows set it up in minutes (they are not
	particularly techie). It also depends on what client you use I
	guess. I tested utox on a windows xp machine and it only took a
	few clicks to install. 

	But having no off-line messaging does impair usability. Not
	being able to 'add' people unless they are online is...akward.
