Not exactly. There are some possibilities of what happened:
- The Messenger team was too lazy to make the old API compatible with 6.x versions given the new layout and controls
- They just did it "a bit more difficult" so that newbies' plugins (no offence intended) weren't released again but they left the chance for professional programmers like Patchou to develop software for Messenger. (I'd go for this one
)
- the stupid programmers (sic) at Microsoft don't know how to protect their own software from advanced hooks and their intent to block Patchou didn't last long.
As Patchou once said, if they wanted to block all plugins once and for all, they could. And it has nothing to do with file editing or resource hacking at all.
