I would also add that unlike the plain multi-protocol clients such as
Trillian/Gaim/etc, Jabber is a direct competitor to the new MS enterprise IM
suite. As such I don't imagine MS will be going out of there way to see it
enhanced in any way.

The articles state that they have an objection to allowing for profit third
party clients to connect to their network. MS never says explicitly that
just because a client or gateway server is free they will work with the
software engineers in order to implement compatibility. In fact since they
explicitly DON'T say that I infer that they will not work with jabber.org,
gaim, etc...
