Well, I wouldn't mind if Microsoft got some "inspiration" from my software, however, my software is protected by intellectual property rights. You just can't create a plugin featuring a "custom names" feature that works exactly the same. But in any case, dont worry, when Microsoft wants something it buys it, it doesn't steal it. And there's no reason for them to buy Messenger Plus! as it currently doesn't cost them acent and them get indirect benefits from its popularity
. I just hope that this silent cooperation will continue.
