RE: RE: is there Plus! for WLM 8.5?
Okay, let's clear this up.

This Windows Live Messenger 8.5 is indeed real, as confirmed by a number of sources and the digital signature on the files. Apart from the (awesome) design, no big visual chances have been made.

Messenger Plus! Live and StuffPlug 3 can be loaded in WLM 8.5, and some features will work (contest, statusses, formatting in the contact list) and some won't (logging, formatting in chats, all chat commands). Please, don't report so-called "bugs", because they are no bugs but features incompatible with a not supported version of Messenger. You should be happy Patchou programmed his add-on in such way that some can still work on this new version!

I'm using it because I like how the design fits with Vista, but I'll probably downgrade when Vista Live Messenger hits release. I just hope they won't change it too dramatically during the testing phase... I'm loving it! :)

That "leaked wlm" looks like a normal wlm 8.1 skinned be the vista skin with a few of modifications...

This has been discussed on the mess.be forums too. And I came to the same conclusion: nuno peralta stole Microsoft's image resources, makes a skin of it. Microsoft uses their resources and because nuno stole them, the end product looks a bit similar. Nuno gets excited and claims they stole his idea. An example, he highlights the resemblance between the min/max/close buttons, while those are just a complete rip from the Vista buttons. But still, nuno thinks they stole his work. Now honestly, who stole from who? I think it's clear. EDIT: He also confirmed that this was meant to be a joke, and it shouldn't be taken serious. Just. Drop. It.

Well, it's not that hard to get such things when you're using an English msgslang.dll for 8.1 on WLM 8.5. If you "reshacked" a bit better, you'd find out that those message strings are stored in the msgslang.dll, which you copied from 8.1 to 8.5. No further comments needed here.

And that is real. No-one yet succeeded in (or took the time to try?) adding his own default Messenger emoticons by using resource hacking, and thus in my opinion it can only be done by Microsoft itself.
