Voice Chat on GNU/Linux



I am buying a new m/c which comes loaded with Windows XP. While in a perfect 
universe, I would remove XP and use the entire hard drive for GNU/Linux, but I am 
married.....anyway to cut a long story short, my wife swears by windows because it allows 
her to use MSN Messenger or Yahoo IM to voice chat with her friends/family. I have 2 
questions :

1. Does the list know any similar application for GNU/Linux which will allow her to use 
voice chat with her list on Yahoo IM or MSN Messenger. Our old m/c had Yahoo IM but 
the Linux version does not allow voice chat, only text. 
2. If such a piece of software exists, and therefore allows me to remove XP from my 
machine can I get a refund from Microsoft?

Thanks,
Krishnan
