Everyone already experiences delays due to the network transmission adding features that need to encrypt the data then decrypt it will cause "lag" so to speak.



Matty I think your a bit wrong there.

The likes of skype encrypts chat with no lag.

So it M$ should spend a bit of time trying to figure that out.

It shouldnt be a job for an external plugin.

But on a side note:

That software will encrypt your convo providing the person your talking to has it.
