Is it possible, using a registry hack or some other method, to supress the taskbar "flashing" when someone sends me an instant message?

I have a friend who uses a Mac, and was wondering if there is a version of Windows Live Messenger for Mac? Or something comparable that uses/takes advantage of the Windows LIVE ID? I'm interested in recommendations, as well as "is there a Mac version of Live Messenger?
Thanks!

I'll bullet point things of note:
Other accounts work on the same machine.
This is a problem across a few machines.

I've uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted…

Every now and then wlcomm.exe will start using all the available CPU. It will keep using it until I kill the process. Google couldn't tell me much about why this is happening. wlcomm.exe is the 'windows live communication platform'. I have to use live messenger at work.
How can I stop this happening?

I am just configuring my new Windows 7 work machine and have discovered that I can't pin an exe on a network drive to the taskbar. Are there any work arounds to this e.g. Registry Edits.

Several hours after each boot the Windows 7 taskbar thumbnails stops appear.
Click the currently opened window (it should not be a group of windows) - it will collapse. Than hover the mouse over any other window icon, wait a second, and nothing happens. After that no thumbnail appear at all.
There…

NOTE: I know this can be done with the taskbar on the bottom. I seek the solution for a taskbar on the side.
I attached a picture of what I mean. In the screenshots, you can see that my taskbar program icons are arranged in a single column. I want to be able to have multiple columns. This would…
