They want to do the same thing Google did with Jabber/XMPP. Microsoft's: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
Google with their Google Talk did exactly that. They introduced their own instant messaging. Mamy XMPP users (including myself) convinced friends to join Google Talk. Once it picked up they first broke communication (it only worked one way, you could see GT people online, you could see them messaging you, but your messages never arrived) eventually they defederated completly. I still feel being used.
Facebook knows that it is tough to bootstrap community when there are no users in it, and they want to do exact same thing.
