However, X-chat IS a great client. The reason I'm on this board is that mIRC is the IE of the IRC world, so before something is to be supported, mIRC will have to add support for it first, anyway.

But I won't tell Windows users to switch to X-chat. People like mIRC, and I respect that. But if you use X-chat already, I don't see why you should switch to mIRC at all.
