What was said in the NG was "Content". NOT Ads. Content could include Ads, but it could also be the part where it says "So and So is typing" or even how long you've been in contact with them. Until someone from Microsoft actually says "This will be for Ads", no one knows.
Also, knowing that someone in the testing group was removed for creating a crack to fix this, do you want to risk violating the NDA by posting anything about the beta?
Finally, for everyone else. Since the beta was 'leaked' out, you're technically discussing "Illegal Warez" on here. If the OP is a beta tester, then they should have consulted the proper forum for posting the question.. If they're not, then they are discussing an illegally obtained software, which is violating Patchou's TOU.
>>>Edited shortly after the Original Post.....
You may not post illegal things or information about them. This includes, but is not limited to:
* warez, or other illegally distributed software.
* hacking tools.
* pornography or nudity not safe for children.
(Taken from The Terms of Use that you agreed to, when signing up for your account).
How does this pertain to this post you ask? Because the people who created the plugins had to 'hack' the program (reverse engineer, decompile, or other means) in order to get their plugins to work. Also, the version of Messenger is illegally obtained, in that someone who wasn't supposed to give it out to the public did so.
ASG
PS Evil Seph is correct. Just because other people are violating the NDA, doesn't make it right for you (or me, for that matter) to violate it too.
All valid points there. My bad on the point about ads.
. About the NDA issue, well that news about the content was already posted on Mess.be. So really all I did, was confirming that it wasn't rumour about the content being down there in the box.
