Live Messenger DOS, CMD or Powershell Skin

This is kind of funy. Does anyone know of a skin or interface for Live
Messenger that looks like DOS or CMD or Powershell interface. I would like
monospace font, dark background, no graphics. This is for Messengering at
work (duh). I thought someone would have invented this by now, but you must
all have cooler, more up-to-date bosses than I do.

Re: Live Messenger DOS, CMD or Powershell Skin

Greetings Mark,

This is actually funny, I was thinking earlier today that something like this didn't exist
yet.

One thing you could do is use something like bitlbee and use an IRC client, which could be
tamed, depending on which you use.
