A listbox definitely scales much better than a billion windows (I'm not 
talking about tabs), especially since you can also have scrollbars.

And it would save me the trouble of an expanding conversation list when 
I want to start multiple conversations at a time (I double-click, the 
list grows, thus my next double-click goes on the wrong user).
