i just got that

Patchou you can better wait before releasing the beta. Go to france first and when you come back make the beta available. I think MSN want to make an fusion of MSN 7 and Messenger plus. It will be one piece of software. And before installing you can choose if you want to install Messenger plus. Like the MSN toolbar.

great news !
I think u deserve a vacation that will actually motivate you to do plus even a better exerience once u come back
take your time Patch!

Hi everyone,

it is with pleasure that I announce that MSN France invited me to a special Messenger 7 event that will take place in Paris November 5th. They also invited Dwergs, a guy from Neowin, ... this seems suspicious, it could actually be a trap so exceptionally, I decided to release a public beta version of Messenger Plus! 3.40 before I board the plane next Wednesday .

This beta version WILL be compatible with Messenger 7, at least, to some extent. I don't like releasing beta versions but Messenger 7 being in beta itself, I don't think it it will annoy anyone to have two half-finished products running at the same time . I'll post more news about it in time, I can't guarantee the date of the release though: if some of the important current bugs can't be fixed by Tuesday, you'll have to wait a little longer (and hope that MSN France doesn't keep me prisoner ).

Have a nice weekend,
Patchou

I'll see you there so

not that patchou doesnt serve lots of credit.. i could be wrong but i dont think u guys should be thinking that this meeting or whatever is gonna be about him and/or messenger plus. patchou was just invited to it.. along with other people that are involved with msn products... its like having a public meeting and inviting people that would be interested in what goes on at the meeting just so everyone is informed.

microsoft probably just invited all the developers of plugins they think are benefiting their software so they can inform them of the major programming changes in the way msn 7 works.

that would be my guess on why they invited patchou. (and everyone else who they invite). just to say "this is how the new communication model will work with msn 7" (or whatever programming aspect its about). that way they dont lose fans who will only use msn 7 if they have msn plus working for it.

k thats my two cents lol

Patchou maybe they are planning to get all of you lot together then they gonna hold you all to ransom lol

I really doubt this, afaik Patchou doesn't want this to happen at all, I think that he wants to keep it as a third party extension for MSN Messenger, rather then letting it get integrated, if they agree on this, then the contract will be thoroughly read, and the msn team will probably edit some of the source, which i severely doubt that Patchou wants this to happen at all, as its his source. You don't want your house being broken into and changed around now do you?

If you want Messenger Plus! you download it, if you don't then you won't, this whole thing is a pretty big assumption to make, if they invited Patchou for this reason, then why did they invite Dwergs and MSN Fanatic guy?

madhattr999 is right . And in any case, Messenger Plus! is good the way it is distributed now, no need to integrate it anywhere else .

The reason is simple:

It's for a new TV-show. Each show they have a different popular theme. And this time, the theme is MSN Messenger. So they invite people from some different communities and then they must fight eachother in a big cage. Something like the big wrestling-matches...

I don't know why.... but watch out. that msn don't use you. or stealling your ideas.

Haven fun
