RE: WLM stealing even more Plus! ideas :(
lets take Microsoft out of its MVP program, they steal
i find it nice that they suggest Plus! features, but i think messenger would get really crowded and full of things most people don't use...

Hmmm, it's one thing to implement obvious features like tabbed chats, but it looks pretty bad to kick a developer out of the MVP program then openly admit stealing his ideas would be a good development move! ![:P](images/smilies/msn_tongue.gif)

Yeh, that does seem wrong.

I agree, 8.1 is horrible to use. I've never used such buggy Beta builds before. Hopefully things'll be sorted soon

Microsoft have been doing stuff like this for years, it's really bad but Patchou can't do anything about it ![:(](images/smilies/msn_sad.gif) .
Patchou should somehow copyright some features or something, so that when Microsoft release it, he can get some compensation, they've been screwing him around for years.
First they make him MVP, then they take it off him and steal features from his software, it's pathetic.

Yeah it is.
But as a company it seems they are trying to crush anyone that is competing with them(which is normal) but Patchou and MP! arn't realy competing against MS. It sucks if they would try put him out of his job when they needn't do soo.
And i agree with the people that say it will become too bloated.

If anything they get more users because of Plus!, if you think about it WLM + MP! = better than any other chat program, so if you take away Plus! then people might use another program - I'm sure some people have switched from other programs that do basically the same as WLM so they can use a great addon like Plus!

Yeh, MS are actually getting more WLM users because of Plus! so they should not try and "crush" plus, ad it is helping them out.
