gaim rocks
Our team at work used to coordinate production deployments using MSN IM. When we got our new PCs and laptops, we were "liberated" of the need to do administration on our boxes (read: we were stripped of admin rights). MSN IM is disabled so I've been unable to use it for deployments ever since.
Then, I found Gaim. Gaim requires no admin rights and no registry additions on a Windows box. In addition to MSN IM, Gaim also supports Yahoo IM and AIM. Viva la Open Source.

Bummer about no admin privileges. I've been using Gaim for a few months now and won't go back to the "official" MSN or AIM clients. For one, Gaim doesn't deliver those annoying AIM adverts. And it has some nifty features like aliasing (so you don't have to remember screen names), buddy "pounces" (so you can message someone as soon as they sign on), and conversation logging. The only problem I have with it is its poor support of file transfers.
