Additionally, I don't think Microsoft was interested in prohibiting "skinning" of the app when it banned modification of the exe file, i'm almost certain their intention was to prevent malicious forms of MSN from circulating that could damage the end-user's PC, or hinder the MSN servers that host the service. The bottom line here, is that the future is in customizability, and MSN users should be able to have that option open to them as well.
true, but hey, it remains illegal.
even tough i agree with you, i can't deny the fact that it's illegal and that we should not discuss it here.
