I've searched this problem on google groups and have people post wrong
information about this.

HERE IS THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT:
In Outlook go to Tools>Options>Other. Uncheck the box that says
"Enable the person names smart tag".

And you're done!
 
Just a follow-up:
To be more accurate, you need to uncheck "Display messenger status in
the From field". [Unchecking "Enable the person names smart tag" will
disable them both, but it is the second one that is actually
responsible for starting up MSN messenger].
