What are the security risks in implementing an Instant Messaging
Infrastructure for internal use only?  Can it be secured?

Though I have zero experience with MSN, I would recommend using Jabber
(http://www.jabber.org)

* open source - you can audit the source
* source for both client and server side - that means you can run you own
internal jabber server.
* support for SSL encryption
