Microsoft to Try Peer-to-Peer Circle

Microsoft next week plans to begin testing a radically new instant messaging and communications product aimed at teenagers and young adults who grew up using the Internet.
The new software, called Threedegrees, creates a peer-to-peer social group in which people can chat, share photos, listen to music and meet friends. Concurrently with the test, or beta, program, Microsoft also plans to release the Windows Peer-to-Peer Update for Windows XP.
To use Threedegrees, prospective testers must be running Windows XP with Service Pack 1, the peer-to-peer update and MSN Messenger 5 installed on their computers. The software allows people to create groups, in which up to 10 people can participate in the same instant messaging session. Group members also can share animation and photos or listen to music.
The full story is at C|Net.

If it has file transfer capabilities like Aim and DOES function with a firewal, I might use it. I cant get any of the IM programs out there now to work with my firewall.
