Yes, MSN offers a chat and video function, but I used to use it and moved to SkyPe, and frankly, there's no comparison.

BT can nag and whine about their avatars and bells and whistles. Skype focused on the one thing that really counts - sound quality - and it's head and shoulders above anything else I've used.

What's more, Skype's cut-down interface is light, simple, doesn't burden the PC in the same way as MSN/Yahoo/AIM all do, and has never - to my knowledge - clashed with any other piece of software I run, and I run many.

As they say, it's internet telephone that just... works.
