Quick Windows Live Messenger query if I may.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to login to two separate Windows Live Messenger sessions at the same time and on the same computer, ie with two different email addresses/accounts?

I think Trillian allows this.

I use a little tool over at Mess with Windows Live and MSN Messenger: download free msn animated emoticons, names, etc. called Mess Patch Light. Allows you to tweak your Messenger so that it can run multiple clients.

I use pidgin, like trillian mentioned above it allows me to sign into any amount of msn/aim/gmail/etc accounts under one interface. Took a bit of getting used to after the bloat of msn/livemessenger but it's well worth looking into
