Can I use iChat with MSN through its new XMPP/Jabber compatibility?

Question

The Windows Team blog announced XMPP compatibility with their MSN/Live IM network recently.

Have anyone tried to get iChat to work with MSN yet? (I'm not looking for Jabber transports)

No, it is not implemented yet.

In the meanwhile, you can use Cocoon for MSN chat as an iChat extension.

	Wow, thank you! – yusf Dec 28 '11 at 23:52
	This answer got a bit outdated I think. No updates (or anything) from Cocoon for a year. – Alenanno Aug 26 '12 at 14:24
	@Alenanno Did it stop working? – Gerry Aug 26 '12 at 15:08
	@Gerry I haven't even installed it, considering the project seems to be dead and seems it has been for a year. Not to mention it still had problems (failure to load avatars, no chance to add, block or remove contacts and so on). – Alenanno Aug 26 '12 at 15:18

As Gerry said, Cocoon is your only option at the moment - but it hasn't been touched in months, despite continued donations from users.
