Is there anybody here who know how can I develop something like Messenger Plus!?

I've few more questions

1) is there any different between developing for windows messenger and MSN messenger?

2) where do I start?

3) can I develop in VB.net?

4) what can /can't I develop? is there any limit?

5) is it legal?let's say I'll develop something amazing and I'll sell it to million customers , will microsoft sue me?

THANKS A LOT!!!

1) Yes, quite a lot. There is a page on the MSN website that describes the differences
2) Start with an idea, then take it from there
3) Yes you can, though you may want to consider C++ as you can do more in that
4) You can develop anything that doesn't break the law
5) MS haven't sued Patchou yet, so yes it is legal

Yep, but I think he's talking about a commercial project:

Still, it's not illegal. It'd only be illegal if MS owned the code for the addon you want to do.
