That has a very simple reason, I guess some people come from windows,
much like I did, we all have friends/acquaintances/contacts (which have
friends/acquaintances/contacts of their ow) that only use windows and/or
msn/yahoo and do not even consider changing to another instant messenger.

Some might try something else just for fun but always end up ditching
the alternative so if you want to have a real time chat with your
friends there is no choice.
