is it just me, or does MSN only seem to be doing cosmetic changes and copying patchou?

I admit, some features are akin to those in Plus. However, you've got to remember MSN is competing with AIM and Y!M, and I know for a fact Y!M has personalised statuses. So it's more a case of keeping up with the competition than copying Patchou.

mybe they should just save them selves the trouble and include the msgplus! installation package in the MSN messenger install program
and i don't see any competition between AIM/Y!, there just imitations, does anyone even use ICQ anymore
