<p>Adium is only available on <a class="ext_link" href="http://www.apple.com/macosx">Mac OS X</a>.</p>
<p>Adium is written with very Mac specific code—mostly, but not entirely, Cocoa. Porting it to another platform would require rewriting the entire application.</p>
<p>Read below which alternatives we suggest for each operating system.</p>

<div class="taskboxheader">
<h3>Windows</h3>
</div>
<div class="taskboxtext">
<p>Several multi-protocol IM clients already exist for Windows. We recommended <a class="ext_link" href="http://pidgin.im/">Pidgin for Windows</a>; it is open-source and free and Adium uses Pidgin's core (libpurple) for most protocols. Other options include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a class="ext_link" href="http://www.trillian.im/">Trillian</a> (commercial; free 'lite' version available)</li>
<li><a class="ext_link" href="http://www.miranda-im.org/">Miranda</a> (open source; free).</li>
</ul>
<p>There are some skins available for Trillian and Miranda which modify them to look like Adium in some ways.</p>

<h3>Linux</h3>
</div>
<div class="taskboxtext">
<p>Several multi-protocol IM clients already exist for Linux operating systems.</p>
<p>If you're using <a class="ext_link" href="http://www.gtk.org/">GTK+</a>, we recommend <a class="ext_link" href="http://pidgin.im/">Pidgin</a>. Adium uses Pidgin's core (libpurple) for most protocols.</p>
<p>If you're using <a class="ext_link" href="http://www.kde.org/">KDE</a>, we recommend <a class="ext_link" href="http://kopete.kde.org/">Kopete</a>. Kopete even works with <a href="http://xtras.adium.im/index.php?a=search&amp;cat_id=5">Adium message view styles</a>.</p>
<p><b>But couldn't you use <a class="ext_link" href="http://www.gnustep.org/">GNUStep</a>?</b></p>
<p>We use Cocoa Bindings, Carbon, Quartz, Core Foundation, and Search Kit, among other APIs. These features are not available in GNUStep.</p>
<p>There was a GNUStep implementation very long ago, but it fell out of date and was missing features.</p>

<h3>Mac OS 9</h3>
</div>
<div class="taskboxtext">
<p>Look on <a class="ext_link" href="http://www.macupdate.com">MacUpdate</a> to see if there are any clients that may work for you. Otherwise you may want to start looking at moving to OS X.</p>
