"Three years ago, Trillian started out as a basic IRC client which quickly expanded to support the AIM, MSN, ICQ, and Yahoo messaging protocols. It was, at first, a free program (free as in beer) but the developers, working under the name Cerulean Studios about a year ago, on September 10, 2002, released their Pro version, Trillian 1.0 and, for the first time, charged for it, US$25. As of Sept 10, the long-awaited Trillian Pro 2.0 has been released."

something to note: MSN and now Yahoo Messenger have threatened to cut off 3rd party clients by revamping their protocols. While this *MAY* affect GAIM (ask GAIM devs for more info) it appears that CS has released patches that will allow Trillian to continue to connect to these networks seamlessly.
