I have connected my Windows live account(Microsoft account), Facebook account and Google account with Windows 8.

On "People" Windows 8 app it shows as connected to Microsoft, Facebook, Google, whereas in "Messaging" app its connected only to Microsoft and Facebook.

While I can chat with Facebook online contacts and messenger's, I cant find my Google online contacts only on Messaging app.

Seems like Google supports only sharing of contacts and not chat as of now. Does anyone knows how to get Google chat on Windows 8 Messaging?
