Default Windows Messenger Compatible with AIM ?

Hello. I use Windows Messenger and my girlfriends uses
AOL's AIM. Is there anyway I can add her to my Contact
List in Messenger? Can she sign up with .NET Passport
and use it with AIM? Maybe then I could add her to my
Contacts. Is there anything I can do besides one of us
switching to the other's software? Thank you for your
help. -Steve

feel free to email me with any help, Thank you.

Greetings Steve,

No, AIM and the .NET Messenger network (what Windows Messenger uses) are entirely separate.

The only thing you can do besides use separate clients is an all-in-one client like Trillian
(http://www.trillian.cc).

Okay, thanks for your help Jonathan. This Trillian
doesn't come with any adware/spyware stuff, does it?
