O.P. write plugin that runs on msn messenger directly / microsoft's policy
hi all,
i've been using msn messenger for a while to chat with my friends. I recently became interested to develop an add-on to msn messenger, but I have never used messenger plus and I thought I could just find all the info I needed in Microsoft's MSDN library online. I looked a the messenger API there but I don't understand it : does microsoft allow other people to write plugins for msn messenger / windows messenger or not at all? I read something about the API being locked and you need to request an ID or something. If this API is closed and microsoft does not allow other people to write plugins, how was messenger plus designed such that it can sit on top of windows messenger or msn messenger? I could of course just create a messenger plus plugin but I'm not sure how many people are actually using it, compared to the total msn messenger users, and how many users are using windows messenger just plain. I would like my plugin to work on all variations of messenger.
thanks in advance!
