It may not even be functional yet with the new 7.0 version of messenger so wait a couple of days atleast that new plus will do something useful.

Bad news guys

Following on from our security alert this week MSN have not only delayed the release of an external beta but they're planning to remove crucial new features temporarily. According to sources close to MSN, MSN Messenger 7 beta will ship without 'winks' and deluxe display pictures. Currently it's easy for hackers to exploit the code of winks to display any flash movies on a users computer for any amount of time.

MSN took the decision following the public announcements of the exploits. We're unsure whether 'winks' are going to be axed from MSN Messenger 7 or whether MSN are merely revamping them to be included in later betas.

In other news, The Messenger team will be implementing a CVR update that will force all existing MSN Messenger V7.0 users to downgrade to V6.2. This CVR is scheduled to start on 6 Oct 2004. Anyone running MSN Messenger V7.0 build 0205 will need to downgrade. If you do not downgrade, you will be unable to sign into the Messenger service. We're unsure whether this will effect other builds.

no, patchou only chooses loyal testers, who he knows and trusts. who will not leak the beta or release resources ect

The people who he trusts and sends the beta's to are usually the older users, close friends, highly respected members (Theblasphemer, cookierevised ect) who make posts to help people solving issues with msgpluis ect

The update just removed my 7.0 beta. Assuming this is removing all builds of 7.0 will this hinder patchou's work on a compatible plus or will patchou still be able to have one ready for the public beta launch?
I know very little on the subject so please don't flame.

   assuming there is gonna be a Public beta that is

Bha.. don't worry, Microsoft made me an official MSN MVP recently, I'll get all the betas I want . And that's goodnews, I was spendingtoo much time in Messenger 7 code these days and I was forgetting about the release of version 3.21 .

Patch

I think I'm a bit confused by all of that... you ARE still making Plus! compatability for MSNM 7, aren't you?
