Win Messenger is being absorbed by skype otherwise I would use it.

Hack the client. Or find a cracked version or something. It's still an option if you want it to be.

Anyone still use ICQ?

Oh, not since 2004?

I'll just leave then...

Pidgin is best, unfortunately.

Most people use Skype these days. Hotmail is being phased out and has been merged with the Skype network.
The only chat client that I know of that can use Skype Toolkit properly is Trillian. IMO.im used to, but it recently broke. Other chat services like Pidgin have Skype plugins but they require Skype to be running in the background.
