Well it would be silly if Microsoft keeps adopting the closed policy they have and they only nade yahoo compatible with live messenger because they were smoothing the way into buying yahoo... With gTalk from google XMPP which is a open portocol and limited to text and file tarnsfers ATM it seems unless they waking up will only believe it when I see it.

Its ridiculous to have to go through half a dozen messengers so you can talk to your friends because they choose something else.

Either way IF (a big if) WLM 9 will support all these and be a actually grown up and more of a professional tool who can also upload to skydrive via WLM as well as being able to relinquish the hold ON IE for browsing your space and allow whatever default browser actually be open instead of insitsting on forced use OF IE then Im all for it and will applaude MS...

Thats another thing I hate I use Firefox on my laptop as default browser and whenI click to see my Blog IE opens up.... you know it ridiculous if you have FF or Opera or wahtever you like and you cant go on windows update for one and many other MS network sites. Its insane... hell if MS ha a problem with the way browser access theire sight just tell them how to do it theire way as well...

However as far as Live messenger addon + I suggest you implement OTR as well as being optional by contacts on same network. and OTR is able to encrypt in every protocol any network.

This is a major function missing, security. I wanna be able to talk about whatever I want without having someone burst trough my door because I mentioned like e.g. That party at the whitehouse was the Bomb especially the president was there great party had lots of fun...

Im sorry but If I wanna talk about my live to my friends I dont want some idiot to be recording it somewhere as they do. Dont be telling me Im paranoid I know this to be a fact as well as mobile conversations and regular phone conversations, I dot wanna get all irated about it but Please just introduce OTR.

Your addon is great and just goes to show if MS was really serious about the technology and giving the users what they want you guys would be out of a job so to speak...
