Eu já experimentei os dois e perfiro o dMSN. Também tem funções uteis tal como:
>saber quando é que a pessoa com quem estamos a falar fechou a janela,
>bloquear a msg de "... está a escrever...",
>enviar desenhos nas conversas sem que o outro user aceite ou deixe de aceitar,
>se alguem te remove ele pergunta-te se também a queres remover,
>permite ter 'n' contas abertas ao mesmo tempo,
>já faz tranferencias de ficheiros directas,
>permite ter um avatar maior que o tamanho 'normal',
>é mais bonito e dá para utilizar skins,
>logs em txt ou xml
Ok... é feito em java...
Edit:
(algumas das que disse em cima também estão aqui...)
Mercury can do the same things as your normal messenger:
* Talk to friends
* Change your nickname and status
* Add a display picture (also know as avatar)
* Send files through the msn server (for people with a firewall etc..) or direct
But Mercury has some extra functions that your normal messenger doesn’t have, for example:
* Be online with several MSN adresses at the same time.
* Login with your status on 'Invisible' or any other status you want.

* Default plugin added: a FileServer for MSN using IRC like commands

* Enter notes while in a conversation you might need later (date of birth, last name, phone numbers)
