Hi Everyone,
Whilst I most certainly respect Patchou's decision in principle, the argument about taking revenue away from M$ is pretty lame...
Lets remember that we are talking about one of the worst things that ever hapened to the IT industry here... They have essentially been butt F*%&ing the entire world ever since M$DOS became the defacto standard.
If you wanted to purchase M$Windows XP Pro & Office 2003 Pro, the cost is higher than an entire new computer!!
M$ can handle the loss of the few pennies the ads give them.. the programmers (although I believe most of them don't deserve the title) certainly aren't going to go hungry.. M$ employees are some of the best paid in the world!
Like I said, If patchou wants to take the ad banner removal out of Plus on a matter of principle, then that is his right, but those that think it's because M$ will lose revenue are living in Cloud Cuck-Coo Land!
Patchou: Keep it up! I Love Messenger Plus, it makes using Messenger almost bearable
