I signed it this morning, however what I think everyone should realise how many complaints these people will get (some of them invalid) to get their software allowed. They will be very busy filtering the real from the fake, but luckally this problem is one that can be easily proved and tested. However software that forces users to unfairfully remove another is illegal, so a lawsuit could be on the cards for the future, but I hope MS listen to this.

I signed it this morning too . Pathou deserves better indeed.

Patchou, I have been using MsgPlus since very early stages of development (and I still do). I think you have lost your way a little. The original reason why I downloaded Plus in the first place back in the day was to remove the annoying MSN Adverts.

When you removed that feature from Plus, that is when I lost respect for you.

Please read "'MSN advertisement banner' removal" to know why he removed it. It was not because MS told him to do it. It has, among many other things, todo with respect for eachothers revenues and is actually more than logic that he removed it.

It is not Microsoft which is "screwing him", it is a devision of Microsoft. Microsoft is a very big company with many seperate devisions. Also, as Guido has put it correctly:

Sorry to interrupt with such a picky subtlety but... is there a reason to call them M$$ or M$ or whatever? It's a company, it's thousands of people, it's called Microsoft, or abbreviate it MS. If we want to be heard like civilized people we should at least treat their *name* with respect maturity.

As with all big companies it is more than logical that they make money, heck you don't start a company without you first goal is making money.

Patchou didn't make Messenger Plus! to piss MS off and he will never include anything to piss MS (or any other company for that matter) off. Pissing people off is not how you solve things, especially things like this...

I'm sorry to hear you feel this way, though I hope you reconsider your thoughts about this...

Right, because childish attitudes like your suggested revenge are the best alternative for solving misunderstandings with a Microsoft division.

Signed. Hope this petition makes a difference.
