If SIMPLE got anything more than lip service, I'd be shocked. Its talked about and talked up, but there are no implementations. If its really so useful, why hasn't an open source project picked it up? (Please make me eat my words... I haven't actually researched this.)
As soon as Microsoft and AOL have SIMPLE working, *AND* have decided to allow server-to-server via SIMPLE, I'm sure it won't be long until somebody has written a Jabber-to-SIMPLE transport, and then we'll all be happily IMing with our friends on AIM/MSN.
What's the point of all this talk? Stop talking and implement... until then, I'm going to stick to Jabber, since it already has been implemented and is supported on a wide variety of platforms.
