There’s even a Win/Mac/Linux proxy available which allows you to use OTR with otherwise unsupported IM apps.

To be honest though, I’ve found myself going back to IRC using Pidgin or irssi for group chatting/collaboration.

i liked the use of words ‘universal IM’ so i did little search of my own and got same old results.
after digging little more i found this airtalkr (airtalkr.com), i used to use GAIM but i done know y everytime i use it my PC slows down so this seems to be wonderful option and download is small too
this is just in beta and still have some issues(or issues may be because my mouse is not working)
in short i like this one

For windows, it boiled down to Pidgin, Trillian, and Miranda.

A few plugins later and I’ve got my installation to look like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dachande663/1413662482/
