I tried it for a few days, but gave up because I don't see the point of using something when everyone I was talking to also had AIM names.

I already had that before Google Talk, and I have video chat too so that didn't make a difference for me.

The voice chat in MSN sucks. If you have a firewall, forget about being able to connect to anybody. Google Talk is very easy and straightforward (no configuring your firewall) and the audio quality is amazing. Even with a crappy microphone it sounds infinitely better than a telephone call.
I was talking about iChat, which is a Mac program. I don't even use the voice chat much, but when I have it's been better than most phones I use.

I used ichat to connect to it for a while, but that appears to no longer work, on their site it says something about being aware of conectivety issues with ichat
I use msn for instant messanging (actually amsn since the mac versions of msn suck) AIM never really caught on in Canada, I know maybe 2 other people that have aim accounts. THis is probably largely due to aol never really catching on as an ip here.
