I use both ... I started off with ICQ for work and MSN for personal .. but since that idea has been shot out of the water .. Msn now has about 200 contacts and ICQ is in the 700s or more
I prefer ICQ mainly for the archive (history) and the fact that all Messages are time stamped... While msn doesn't offer ither of those features.
dude, msn has the feature to save all conversations stamped.. hit me up
