However, so far it's only the newer Windows clients and a Web Messenger in Singapore(!?) http://webim.live.sg/ that supports it. Logging in with any other client will throw you out from all other locations. I would love for other clients to support this feature. It might be a proprietary protocol, but why doesn't the other Microsoft clients (e.g. X-box and Mac) support this?

I get notified that I am, and given the choice to log out on EACH client that is on at the same time, but unless I respond in a way that logs a client out, they all continue to stay on. I will get the same message repeated to all clients, when one is sent to me. So, as far as I know, AIM actually supports multiple client logins. I also would love it if msn did also.

Private protocols like MSN, Y!, AIM/ICQ, and others suffer from the one login at a time. I cant find out how to get AIM or ICQ to log in multiple times from multiple locations at this time.
