As you are no doubt aware, Pidgin is open source software, and we have no dedicated support team. As such, if you choose to adopt Pidgin for your workplace, be prepared to provide support to your employees. We cannot and will not provide day-to-day tech support for running Pidgin to 70 desktops. That said, many companies do use Pidgin, and we are happy for you to do so if you feel it meets your needs. Security flaws which we are aware of can always be found, along with the version of Pidgin in which they are fixed, at: http://pidgin.im/news/security/ You can monitor the various security tracking organizations (e.g., MITRE) for vulnerabilities which have not yet been fixed. I cannot tell you about any compatibility issues with Windows, as I do not use it. You may find the bug tracker (http://developer.pidgin.im/) useful in answering this query.
