But i use gaim to connect to the MSN network now so I can't see what
difference it will make. All it now means is that i won't have to
connect to MSN and yahoo networks, one should do.

Yay, I won't need to wait eight months for MSN to sign in :)

If yahoo or MSN change the protocol again the gaim guys will just catch
up again.

Questionable.
Gaim haven't made a release for, oh... *looks* nearly a year now, and we've had broken  promises as regards the 2.0 version. It doesn't have any useful new features, as far as I can tell, except further patronisation and a working status system (bugfix.)
Kopete, on the other hand, will likely issue an immediate fix (is gaim even being developed any more?)
