Last report I heard, to use MS NetMeeting, one has to make as many
holes in a firewall as in a piece of Swiss cheese.  It doesn't sound
like it's conducive to security.

Any other services from MSN would have to be evaluated on a per-case
basis.  Remember, their first goal is not to help you, but to line
Bill's pockets and consolidate the world into an MS-only world.
