Hi All,

I run a small, Chicago based open source consultancy.  Just want to let 
everyone know that I've packaged up Pidgin along with Guifications and 
Pidgin Encryption in a simple MSI installer that can be used for 
deploying Pidgin through Active Directory, SMS, Tivoli, Filewave or 
whatever your company uses to deploy software.  
http://www.prometheon.net/2008/04/22/active-directory-windows-msi-installers-for-firefox-pidgin-and-gimp/

This uses the standard MSI install options such as /quiet /norestart.

Pidgin is one of those great open source tools that will help make 
switching to a Linux desktop easier since it's cross-platform.  :)

Thanks to everyone for all of their contributions and hard work in 
making this such a great product. 

Cheers,

Ryan Nix
