Adium is a popular and, probably, the best instant messaging client for you Mac at the moment. It supports a great number of services, including MSN, Yahoo! What I wanted was to use groupsim.com that gives multi-user chat for MSN messenger. Unfortunately Adium doesn’t support displaying the nicknames of each person. It’s been told to me that Pidgin is the solution.

Adium is only available on Mac OS X.

Adium is written with very Mac specific code—mostly, but not entirely, Cocoa. Porting it to another platform would require rewriting the entire application.

Read below which alternatives we suggest for each operating system.

Several multi-protocol IM clients already exist for Windows. We recommended Pidgin for Windows; it is open-source and free and Adium uses Pidgin's core (libpurple) for most protocols. Other options include:

• Trillian (commercial; free 'lite' version available)
• Miranda (open source; free).

There are some skins available for Trillian and Miranda which modify them to look like Adium in some ways.

If you're using GTK+, we recommend Pidgin. Adium uses Pidgin's core (libpurple) for most protocols.

If you're using KDE, we recommend Kopete. Kopete even works with Adium message view styles.

But couldn't you use GNUStep?

We use Cocoa Bindings, Carbon, Quartz, Core Foundation, and Search Kit, among other APIs. These features are not available in GNUStep.

There was a GNUStep implementation very long ago, but it fell out of date and was missing features.

Look on MacUpdate to see if there are any clients that may work for you. Otherwise you may want to start looking at moving to OS X.
