RE: Exclusive Rights of Patchou!!!!
"Messenger Plus!" is copyrighted by Patchou, so Microsoft can't use that name in its products, however I think that the features of Plus are not copyrighted so Microsoft can copy then (in fact I think Patchou has said that there's no problem in making another program (like when talkng about aMSN) that uses the same codes that Plus uses to make colors, formatted text, etc...)
Anyway, even if it's legal for Microsoft (and for everyone else) to copy those features, I think it's a moral must asking Patchou for his permission to do that.
