Doesn't exist and never will. The WoW UI is incapable of interacting with instant messengers.

That's right, but there is at least something similar to that:

WIM (WoW Instant Messenger)

And yes, Xfire works inside WoW as well. ^^

Couldn't you just use some OCR code to interact with a backgound MSN/AIM window. I've seen something similar in another game.

Well, you can recover wow's data this way, but wow cannot get data from other programs. Furthermore, any of these two options, whether you can find a trick to make them work or not, and correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't be allowed, and thus would most likely not be supported by this website or most of its coders.

Most chat programs have an 'always on top' option, you could turn that on.

WIM is an awesome addon, but it only works for whispers in game, not out of game.

Either Xfire or dual monitors would be the best bets probably.
