Trillian is a totally seperate application to MSN Messenger…it just connects to the servers. You could have trillian installed without msn messenger and still connect…therefore, no matter what version of msn messenger you have on your computer, you can still log into Trillian without problems!
I think what luke2web is trying to ask is if he/she uses Trillian, would he/she be getting the features already available in MSN Messenger 6.
If that is so, then the answer is no.

Have you ever used Trillian? This question makes no sense whatsover. Trillian and MSN are seperate IM clients. Trillian has the ability to send IM through MSN servers so you can communicate with other MSN users. You do not however get the BETA features of MSN 6 unless Trillian updates its client to include them. Trillian’s compatability is with MSN servers, not the different versions of clients. It does not matter whether you are using Trillian, Messenger 4.7, 5.0, or 6 Beta as they all use the same MSN servers to communicate with each other. Hence making the version you are running irrelevant.

Er, funny how smug you’re being considering you don’t know what you’re talking about. Trillian has had patches for each of AIM 5.0 and ICQ2Go (and probably others in the past), because talking to these new messengers over the existing servers and protocol wasn’t supported by Trillian. It makes sense that it could happen again with MSN messenger 6.
To answer the question, Trillian (both free and pro) does seem to work with the MSN beta. In the past, to their credit, Microsoft have actually told Trillian’s makers about protocol changes before they’ve even happened, so your MSN connection in Trillian is pretty likely to stay good for a long time to come. If you want the new features of MSN messenger 6 (buddy icon, new webcam, games etc) I’m afraid this is very unlikely to come in the next version of Trillian, but they should come eventually.
