 A) Its funny how you read my mind on the Windows 7 topic.
B) Does this mean Pidgin will be removed entirely, because I like pidgin. Or will it be no longer the default.

 Empahy replaces Pidgin in ALL new GNOME installs across the distros because of how the new app integrates into the new messaging notifier and status updater in GNOME. You should still be able to find Pedgin on the Karmic repository.

Warning! Remember that using the SayBox below doesn't require registration, so it's possible to impersonate other people in it. Only staff members' names (colored in blue, green, or purple) are protected. Keep limited trust. Imposters won't be treated lightly. Also, it is not difficult to discover who is impersonating someone. Keep this in mind. Please PM AugieD if you spot any problems relating to the SayBox.
