Hellllllo!

as promised two weeks ago, here is a very exciting news regarding Messenger Plus!. As many of you already know, since its creation, Messenger Plus! has always evolved side by side with MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger, without getting any interference from Microsoft. Our relationship was neither good nor bad; we had some chats from time to time but nothing particularly thorough. Well, all of this is about to change!

After all this time, the MSN team is now showing some positive interest for the add-on. MSN is currently looking for ways to work together with me "to give MSN Messenger users the best possible IM experience". To start things up on some solid ground, the MSN Messenger team has invited me to their headquarters in Redmond for a series of introductory meetings. I'll be there for a couple of days next week to explore common business opportunities which might exist between our two companies. Like it was the case last year with MSN France, MSN and I reiterate the fact that the purpose of the visit is not to shut down Messenger Plus! nor to buy it. Messenger Plus! is currently installed on 6.5 million of computers and shares the same user base as Messenger. Given this, we both think that we could gain something by working some more together.

That's all there is about it now, I'll post more about this whenever possible. The MSN team does care a lot of their users and that's something we can all be thankful for. In the meantime, rest assured that the development on Messenger Plus! will continue undisturbed (you'll soon get the new tabbed chat feature, don't worry ).

Patchou
