Microsoft has an option that is secure.  The IT department at Checkered Flag explored it at one time because it worked with Active Directory.  I'm not sure why they didn't roll it out to the whole company but we used it in the BDC. 


However....The problem we encountered was that you had to be on the Checkered Flag network or VPN'd in to use it (then).  Most of the time someone wanted to use chat it was outside of the office, so we ended-up going back to AIM.  We're using AIM at Dealer.com - despite not being the most secure, it is definitely the easiest chat tool for the employees.  And it comes with the most programs that can utilize it which works great in a Mac/PC/Linux-friendly environment.
