I haven't tried Jabber on Linux yet, but the problem I have with Winjab is that the MSNagent still has some glitches.
I'm also curious whether there is a list of Jabber servers, in the FAQ and Howto's are some references to Jabber servers that use the http port (could be usefull for chatting behind a firewall;-)
But I can't find any others than jabber.org and jabber.com.
Other than that I think the Jabber concept is a good piece of work.

Googled up this Blog that seems to have been in touch with the people involved:

Supposedly somewhere along the line figures got made up/hyped up. As it usually happens when there's a quote of a quote of a quote.
But in all honesty, hype or no hype. There are some news sites out there that made quite an advertisement revenue over the last few days.
