Stopping rumours right now by Patchou on 11-10-2004 at 07:10 PM

Hey everyone,

I'd like to make something very clear: Microsoft DOES NOT intend to buy Messenger Plus! or any of its features. Please, stop spreading this kind of rumours. NDA or not, if it was going to happen, I would be pretty stupid to tell you the countrary as you would eventually realise I'm a big lier, a month later, when msgplus.net would be down.

I'm trying to improve my relations with Microsoft, I hope they'll see some opporunity of  communication themselves but you should all understand that there's no reason for them to buy my software, I'm already doing it for free after all! :). If they add some of my features in their next versions, nothing forces them to give me any compensation whatsoever, that's just the unfortunate truth.

There's already enough bad rumours on the net about Plus! and myself, please don't start new ones for no reason :). Thank you.

Patchou

Thankyou for posting this Patchou, I just hope that people will listen to your post and that we can reason with the people who don't want to agree so that they know the truth.

Yeah, its mostly Mess.be for not updating any of this, as they said it  might happen. But they never informed anyone, I myself started to get abit worried about :D, but I think you're making a wise choice (y)

Doubt that its true, if someone has msn, then they've already accepted the toolbar, or not accepted, they don't want to be bombarded with another msn toolbar thing do they?

Actually it was a bit more than that..
RE: Stopping rumours right now by FrozernFire on 11-11-2004 at 02:40 AM

it's more like jokes to me then rumours... like msn toolbar for c2media :lol:


RE: Stopping rumours right now by surfichris on 11-11-2004 at 02:46 AM

No, that was a joke. But there were rumours that have been started that because Messenger/MSN may soon be adding some features similar to those in Plus! that Patchou had actually been "selling" Plus! and features to them - that is whats NOT true.


RE: Stopping rumours right now by _Humphreys on 11-11-2004 at 08:24 AM

Well if Msn want to take some of your features I am sure enough that you Patchou can make some more excellent ideas in Plus! 4 maybe?:D


RE: Stopping rumours right now by madhattr999 on 11-11-2004 at 02:38 PM

i never said i thought it was true.. i just wanted patchou to comment on that part


RE: Stopping rumours right now by Stigmata on 11-11-2004 at 03:50 PM

i never watch Television :| ^o) I spend too much time on PC :P

Well i remember seeing that patchou said he had alot of work to do on plus because msn 7 will blow us away or sumat, so it sounds goood :P :D


QUESTION, does the sponsor only affect internet explorer, if it only does IE i'll install it :D

Of course, don't be silly :P  If microsoft added features from plus, stealing plus code would be useless since they would still have to make it 3 times as complex before they let people use it :P
RE: Stopping rumours right now by opdude on 11-15-2004 at 04:52 PM

glad to hear this i wondered why msn would want to add msn toolbar to plus!


RE: Stopping rumours right now by whYeNQue on 11-15-2004 at 05:02 PM
