The poll results from last week which had over 1000 users respond showed a surprising result - Microsoft Instant Messenger has gone from nothing to a dominate player in the instant messenging market. 42% of users polled responded that they use MSN. The once dominant ICQ trailed at only 15% with AOL Instant Messenger at 16%. The popular skinnable instant messenger Trillian gained an impressive 20% share. However, its numbers may be higher since the poll was taken on a Windows customization site (WinCustomize). Clearly though, MSN has become a real for in instant messenging.
