RE: MSN Messenger 7 Update
Microsoft almost never has official release dates, at least not with MSN Messenger releases. Dwergs from mess.be has some connections with people, he claims that the official public release is now delayed to April.

Sad news, my friends: we at Mess.be have learned that the official release of MSN Messenger 7.0, currently in public beta and previously planned for this month, has been delayed.

A new private beta is in preparation and will be handed over exclusively to beta-testers soon (current estimations say early March). This new build will come with most of the features planned for the final release, including personalized status messages which are already being tested by the MSN Messenger development team since January. As predicted, these messages can also be configured to show the user's currently playing song artist, title and album. (UPDATE: The last mentioned is only confirmed by screenshots of internal build 604, posted later today at WinBeta.org.)

After this extra private beta-period in March, the final public release of MSN Messenger 7 is scheduled for April.

Such a tease!
No official Microsoft announcement, but i think it's the most reliable source.


As for Plus!: No new public betas or other public versions will be released before Messenger Plus! 3.50 is 100% done. So even when Microsoft should release the final MSN7 version to public, you will still need to wait until Plus! 3.50 beta testing is done (3.40 public beta won't work on the latest leaked MSN7 betas either).

Messenger Plus! 3.50 is set to be released about half March, may be delayed until April if there are problems. I don't think Patchou would wait for the public MSN7 release, he tests Plus! with the MSN beta versions. If it works on MSN7 beta, it should work on MSN7 public aswell, unless there are big changes.
