Pidgin was pretending to be Windows Live Messenger 2008 (8.5), to get 
round MSN's block on unauthorised clients.  Microsoft disabled access 
from that product of theirs.  A new version is pending that pretends to 
be a newer version of the Microsoft product.

See the mailing list archives for more details.

Also note that the latest final end date for the MSN service was the end 
of October this year, so MSN could cease at any time.
