seems like an alright program, but will never outdue Plus!, especially since it does cost money for the pro version. however i do like some of the following features:

Display an alert when...
an option to enable Messenger:Mate's own alert notifications for the following events : a contact initiates a session with you, a contact ends a session with you, a contact goes offline, you're added to someone's contact list, you're removed from someone's contact list.

I know this feature kind of copys plus's notifications, however, instead of plugins, i think i nice toast indicating when someone starts and ends a session, and when ur added or removed from a list are great! if it is possible to add this additions to the already popular msgplus notifications, that would be awesome!

i also like how yoou can group IM windows together to not take up so much room on the taskbar. i believe there already is a plugin for this, but is there anyway that it could be implimented into plus? just thought i'd ask...

anyways, thats all i gotta say for now!
