I want to know what one is recommended. I will be accessing my USB drive mainly from XP computers, and a few W2K every now and then.. (rarely). I have never used Linux and only ever had one Mac, so that is kid of out of the picture. My USB flash drive is 2GB.
Some prefer Gaim, I use Miranda, maybe you will love Trillian, others don't even know about them and uses just plain MSN, Yahoo, etc Messenger...
It's all about tastes and Variety...
I use Miranda because is simpler, easier, and prettier...

I don't have a signature
Should I have a signature?
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
I would definitely have to recommend Trillian.
You can find instruction on making the U3 version work on a "regular" usb drive HERE

I recommend Gaim for most folks on both the portable and regular side of things. I hate Trillian.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I use pixamsn personally it's rather more for chatting and nothing more meaning no smilies or transfering. But thats something I can live with best of all it doesn't write to the registry at all and it's open-source I've been expiramenting with the source a little seeing if I can add smilies or even obtain a transfer dialog for transfering files but so far nothing yet for me.

There is a significant difference between pixamsn and the other IM clients mentioned in this thread:
The others are all multi-protocol clients. They can be used to link to multiple IM services concurrently.
I'm a Gaim (soon to be Pidgin) user on Linux and Windows.

I don`t like trillian because it´s not free software. The lite version is just to convince you to buy the full version.
Miranda ist ok but a bit complicated for starters.
I use Gaim because the offical otr plugin (for encryption) is only for gaim.
Pidgim to Gaim, personally
