Trillian is a fully featured, stand-alone, skinnable chat client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC.

Editor's review of Trillian 3.1.11
5.0 stars
- "All-in-one IM"
After nearly two years, Trillian is back to claim its rightful title as king of all chat clients. Version 3 offers a completely overhauled interface, tabbed chatting, enhanced messaging functionality, improved file transfers, and a new Instant Lookup feature. The program offers simultaneous access to the fab-five chat clients: Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, ICQ, mIRC, and AIM. By importing your passwords, buddy lists, and client preferences into its own interface, Trillian acts as a hub for all your chat traffic.
Installation and setup are simple, and the included features are useful. You can check supported e-mail accounts with one click, view detailed event logs for each client, and, of course, chat. Plus, each supported chat client has options such as video and voice messaging, SMS support, and file transfers. Trillian also offers skin support, although they can be a bit testy to install. While you'll occasionally lose contact with AIM, that's AOL's fault. Credit Trillian for fixing these blocks quickly.
The best thing about Trillian is that it's absolutely free--there's no adware or functionality limitations. So if you need help managing your schizophrenic chatting identity, this puppy's for you.

"Better than anything Microsoft have produced"
Pros: It's not Microsoft, so doesn't try to take over your online world. Combines networks.
Cons: The emoticons are poor, but I guess they have to ensure thay can't be considered to infringe anyone alse's copyright.

Version: Trillian 3.1.11
"Very good, but not perfect. Pro version is worth it."
Pros: Jabber supports Google Chat! Set all statuses at once. Decent skins, very customizable.
Cons: Video support is weak, needs more flexibility in settings & options, some statuses change spontaneously.
Summary: Combines multiple protocol chats under one program. Very nice for setting all your statuses at the same time with one click. Video support is weak, but that's minor for me. Looking forward to more updates.
