All they are doing is allowing the people using the clients to see each other. Up till now you had to run both clients at the same time to be able to contact Yahoo and MSN members. Now you will be able to do it with either client on it's own.
All they will be doing is allowing the Yahoo IM client to be able to "see" MSN users, recognise and interpret the emoticons and be able to directly contact them and vice versa.
The IM software as such will not be merging together, just becoming able to interact with each other fully.
