Hi, how do I use my normal email address - not my mac.com one - on iChat? My mac.com address is not in use and my other email is the one I use for messenger. How do I change it all? I really want to use the iSight :) Thank you!

iChat requires an AIM or a .Mac account name. You cannot use your Hotmail
account in iChat to work around the lack of video support in Messenger. I'm
afraid that for the time being, you will need to use both applications if
you want to use both MSN and video chat. Note that there are also open
source applications such as aMSN that allow you to use video chat right
inside Messenger; this is probably what you are looking for.
