Microsoft needs Patchou, with his ideas MSN keeps on running. Without Patchou MSN is never be so great... I am still using MSN 6.2 and when the new plus comes out. I am gonna use MSN 7 with it.

True, Messenger is QUITE boring now without Messenger Plus!  In fact, I doubt i'd use MSN Messenger if Plus! went away...

As Patchou said, Microsoft would prolly pay him thousands (if not millions) for his features if they really wanted Plus!

i totally agree with u r-style. you see in the past i tryed the messenger plus version for aim and yahoo and they sucked. Patchous work is unique nd of ultra high quality. but even so if msn messenger didnt have a plus then noone would use msn messenger as itd be crappier than the other messengers without it. the plus software for the other messengers may not be anyway near the same high quality as patchous messenger plus but any of them would make there relevant messengers better than an msn messenger that didnt have plus on it.

so yes if microsoft stole patchous work then msn messenger wouldnt get many customers. also people pay for messenger if they have a msn premium subscription as it comes with that software if they all unsubscribed from premium cause they stopped using messenger this would surverly dent microsofts wallet. i doubt even microsoft are that dumb. anyways Patchou keep up the good work msn messenger plus is one of the best pieces of software ever written and im glad you re so generous as to put in all that time and effort without ever asking for anything in return you truely are an inspiration my friend

Microsoft knows exactly what Patchou does.
I know for sure that MS is keeping an eye on this Forum. To look what Patchou is doing right know. Messenger plus is free advertisement for MSN. Whit this advertisement of a great tool MSN keeps on running. Big M knows also MSN must stay free......

I agree with that one, most companies won't steal anything, if they do, they'll be subtle about it aswell...

MS are talking about or at least appear to be thinking about custom away mesages, isn't this "yours"

They must pay you. even if it runs different they should send you money anyway.

If it works differently (i.e. protocol-supported), they won't have to pay any money. In fact, they may not even infringe intellectual proerty rights.
Anyway, Plus has way more genuinely useful features than custom statuses. Like coloured nicks, the whole plugin subsystem, event logger, contact list clean-up helper thingymajig, quick texts, custom status shortcuts...
