Rather - why would you forbid it, if it's not a problem, that is.

I, for one, use Microsoft's MSN network extensively at work.  Most of my
communications with our local Cisco partner are done through it (quicker
than picking up the phone and less intrusive).  Also, I use it for quick
Interactions with ISPs using our xDSL system, very useful for quick,
interactive communications while still giving a chance to paste short logs
snips, e-mail addresses etc.  I also use it to communicate with our tech
support guys (beats having them barge in with those goddamn post-it's).  In
fact, for larger clients, we have a special MSN address that automatically,
upon starting a conversation, maps it to an available support engineer.
