Bounty for voice/video support in Pidgin

[Dipankar Sarkar]

If you check the wikipedia article on Instant messengers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messaging

Windows live leads by a huge margin over day AIM,YIM etc ....

Windows live - 294 million active worldwide
Jabber - 90 million total
AIM - >100 million total
QQ - 783 million total accounts
"active<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QQ#QQ_levels>
"

Some numbers, don't know if they are correct. But its there supported with
articles.
I would say that Live is one of the most used even with the data set around
me. Followed by gtalk(xmpp) / yahoo.
