Tough luck if you have another VOIP thingo that you prefer to use, tough luck if you want to call someone using a different protocol. They've not learnt anything from the umpteen year long debacle of separate IM protocols. i.e. If you're on MSN and your friend uses Yahoo, one of you has to switch protocols.
