Windows Messenger and Yahoo Messenger

I want to be able to chat online with someone who uses Yahoo Messenger and
who doesn't want to use Windows Messenger, but I want to use Windows
Messenger, and not Yahoo Messenger. According to the Yahoo website this
should be possible, but when I try to add their email address to my Windows
Messenger Contacts list it says they can't be added because they don't have
a .Net Passport (they don't want one). Is there no way that the two
Messenger programs can talk to each other? Does one of us really need to
install two different Messenger programs?
