RE: Contest unfair to Messenger Plus!/Windows 2000 users
No, I'm not making any dollar directly from the contest pages, actually I'm losing money everytime somebody clicks on the grid (bandwidth... :p).

A "small update"? I'm sorry to say things don't work that way, it's far from being that easy and even if it was, I have no interest in updating a software that was put aside more than a year ago, sorry :).

Also, as it's not the first time I read that a "lot" of people are still using 9x/2000 out there, here are the numbers (fresh from this week) :

Messenger Plus users from version 1.xx to 4.xx (basically, what really counts) :
Windows Vista:      2.82%
Windows XP:        95.20%
Windows 2000:      0.89%
Windows Me:          0.26%
Windows 98:          0.78%

And here are the stats from version 1.xx to version 3.xx only (coming from versions compatible with all the old MSN Messenger clients) :
Windows XP:        89.50%
Windows 2000:      4.68%
Windows Me:         1.39%
Windows 98:          4.10%

I invite everybody to link to this thread in the future for similar debates. Basically, the hard fact is: there's not much point in developing public software for anything below XP nowadays.
