Assuming you aren't joking, What are you talking about? MSN what? Messenger, or the browser thing, or what? Or are you looking for a virus? What exactly is it you want? To crash?

Cool

Many people suggest amsn. I usually suggest gaim and load the MSN plugin. Take your pick, or find one you like at freshmeat.net

Cool

While on the subject of messangers, is there a Linux version of Trillian?

Unless trillian has it's own IM service that I am not aware of, GAIM would be the linux equivilent. There is even a Perl Script at www.freshmeat.net to convert your lists over to GAIM for ease of transfer.

Some people seemed to have had luck with the codeweavers crossover suite. Might be worth looking into for win switchers.
