i don't know if this is a AIM limitation or what, but my friend has AIM 4.7 for Mac OS X and an animated buddy icon and I can't see his icon at all, but he can see mine (and it's animation) when I am using iChat (with or without LiveIcon). Also, I can see the new AOL Superbuddies in iChat from AOL 9 for Windows users, but they are still not animated with LiveIcon (cannot see the animation in AIM either, so not LiveIcon's fault... just a limitation, i guess). further: i would pay $5 for this, but I would never pay $10... that's the difference between a cute haxie and a piece of productive software. it would also be nice if it were a system-wide haxie... animate icons in login window, address book, etc.
