Connection wise I haven't experienced any problems. Some
friends of mine on windows set it up in minutes (they are not
particularly techie). It also depends on what client you use I
guess. I tested utox on a windows xp machine and it only took a
few clicks to install.
But having no off-line messaging does impair usability. Not
being able to 'add' people unless they are online is...akward.
