Eeeek! You use MSN Messenger for corporate communications? I do hope 
that nothing sensitive is talked about...

It's only recently that MSN messenger was encrypted at the client side, 
there's also the problem that you've gotta tie all your personal details 
together in one place (great for industrial espionage)... and do we 
really think it's a good idea to have corporate communications leaving 
the network, and probably being logged by a company in a seperate country?

Just my 2p...
