True, but is the MS one really a good chat? And chat is like social networking: something that is only useful if a lot of people are using it. Doing it like this only seems to increase the risk of a lot of people not using it.
I don't know much about the mechanics, but was this the only way they could have integrated chat into the site? Couldn't they have not done it like FB does, but instead had a section of the site dedicated to chat rooms or something?
