A chat thingy that does it all? Suggestions for me?

**Steam** · 7th March 2008, 09:28

So, there are all these different kinds of instant messaging, and chatting etc.
Is there one bit of software I can install on my computer that can handle them all, or do I have to install a different programme for each one?
I already have Google Talk and MSN Messenger installed, do I need some others to get ICQ and stuff?

Thanks in advance!

ICQ
AIM
MSN Messenger
Google Talk
Yahoo! Messenger

This is what I use on Linux http://www.pidgin.im/

It looks like they have a windows version as well so may be an option.
