The comment above reflects the propoganda, but not the reality, of SIMPLE as it exists in the market. AOL has no interoperable IM system, and has no SIMPLE product available or announced. Only a demo was provided in 2001 to satisfy regulatory scrutiny. MS ships SIP with WinXP, but the SIMPLE implementation is not used. Fact is that there is no reference implementation commercially available from anyone for a server to server SIMPLE implementation. Likely this is because SIP, as a well established, connectionless signalling protocol, is not well suited to a persistent IM connection.
