Pidgin
When Pidgin tries to login to MSN (login.live.com). It asks me to accept a "root certificate". Now I have no idea what this is about. But I don't trust it. However, if I don't accept it I can't log in. Does anyone know what this is?

(see attached screenshot)

I just logged in now using Pidgin. I don't know what this "root certificate" is, but apparently it's not needed.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04
