I'm sorry... but PLEASE follow the advise given or at least read what the latest versions are. I posted them before inclusief download links...
6.2.0205 contains severe bugs and security holes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the least update to 6.2.0208 as I stated before and don't publicize half-arsed tricks to get around the update notification. This isn't safe for you nor for those who attempt to get around it. Again: 6.2.0205 contains severe bugs...

This isn't about violating an agreement (that much). This is more about putting yourself and possibily your contacts into (virus and malicious) danger.

You are right about that but you are entirly missing the point we are making here. We do not say that you need to use the biggest, brand new, resource hogging Windows Live Messenger. We are saying that you at the least should update when there are bugfixes.

If I can be quite frankly, being stuburn and keep on using 6.2.0205 is nothing more than absolutely plain stupid. You might as well download and execute a virus strait away, so to speak.
And this has got absolutely nothing todo with
"people who consume program versions are strange". It has nothing todo with constantly wanted/needing the absolute latest stuff with all the newest features. It has everything todo with being a bit smart and at the least updating when there is a bugfix for a certain branch of a program (aka: I am not speaking about 7.0, 7.5, nor 8.0, but about 6.2). Even if you don't like main version updates, at least update when there are major security bugfixes for a certain build!
