Today I was working on a place with 12 PCs and the only reason why I could not move the place from Windows to Ubuntu was that the users did not like how Amsns, Empathy or Emesene themes looked. They ONLY like the theme that uses Windows Live Messenger. Basically the Live Msn as it comes.
So I am looking for a theme that looks exactly like the latest version of Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger. At least in a way that fools the user completely. Amsn has some nice one but they look old and not like the new live msn. Where can I find a theme that looks like the windows live msn.
Another way is if you install Windows Live Messenger with Playonlinux, and the problem gone. If the users prefer the original programs they work with, the Playonlinux is the most comfortable way to migrate exiting windows programs to linux. Mostly works without any problems.
Since the first version of msn instant messenger which has been released in 1999 a lot has changed. Now MSN is featured with msn messenger winks but also there's a complete msn messenger online version of it, called web msn messenger. Not to forget the rebranding of the instant messanger product from msn messenger hotmail to live msn messenger.
