So...

About Messenger PowerPlus:

* It is NOT a MSN Messenger. This is an addon (in Korean language only) for MSN Messenger that hooks into MSN Messenger, just like Messenger Plus! does.

* "Messenger PowerPlus" also skins your MSN Messenger in memory. It does a fine job in hooking.

* "Messenger PowerPlus" and Messenger Plus! aren't compatible with eachother.

* Messenger Plus! has far more features then "Messenger PowerPlus" for what I can tell.

* "Messenger PowerPlus" concentrates almost only on his animated display pictures and stuff around it.

* Microsoft does support "Messenger PowerPlus". BUT, all the speculations about the fact that Microsoft will only have animated display pictures in the Korean "Messenger PowerPlus" (mess.be) is not correct:
- Microsoft didn't make "Messenger PowerPlus". It is a 3rd party addon FOR MSN Messenger created by the company WisePost.
- Animated display pictures are already in "Messenger PowerPlus".

* "Messenger PowerPlus" has his own display pictures. Hence the speculations that animated display pictures in MSN Messenger are possible isn't exactly true. "Messenger PowerPlus" uses his own system and I think uses the MSN protocol  to send his own animated display pictures. (I'm not sure of this, it could well be done via P2P)

* It is well possible that the animated display pictures-system used by "Messenger PowerPlus" works like the Audiator plugin for Plus!. You only send an indexnumber to your contact, not the picture(s) itself. (<- speculation on my part)

* The animated display pictures actually contain several animated pictures layered over each other to combine a new display picture. So you can the head of pic1, the body of pic3 and the legs of pic8, to combine them into a new character for example. (<- don't know for sure, but this is what I can make of it from the look of it)

* The normal MSN Messenger Display pictures are still there...

* Both parties (you and your contact) need "Messenger PowerPlus" to see the animated display pictures.

* To use all the features (like the animated display pictures) in "Messenger PowerPlus" you need a registration number; The animated display picture system (or avatar-system as it is called by "Messenger PowerPlus") isn't free.
