If people have to use the same software in order to communicate with
each other then that would be a failure. Diversity is great and people
should be able to use whatever they want in order to communicate with
their friends because otherwise it would be like skype, granted on an
open protocol so it wouldn't be that terrible but still painful.

Right now the solution to that problem seems to be jingle as gtalk is
compatible with it and geeks can freely use their favorite XMPP client
on their free OS and add their windows and mac friends who can use
gtalk or trillian or pidgin or adium (when they get support for it and
they already do through patches for the most part).

true but it's doing pretty good since imendio took off and sponsored
the development.

The way I see it right now is gtalk+pdgin on windows adium on mac and
many clients on free unices. So the future looks good for free
compatible voip on all platforms (and even for video as adium and
pidgin are getting it).
