Patchou won't be coming around here at the moment he has many other things to worry about and there is no sense to leave it open until WLM 8 is public.

What does he have to worry about matty? For my own curosity?

His raid drives crashed.

i'm upset that wlm8 is stealing ideas from msgplus such as the new shar files feature in plus, now you can creat a shared folder for contacts to browse and download the files they want, what next? auto-accept?

they also stole custom names and added towards the feature. When adding a contact you can give a custom name and details

Although, to be fair, that function is pretty essential in order to get proper integration between contacts from Messenger, Mail, Outlook etc whic is one of their new features so that you don't have to add contacts to all individually.

This really annoys me, I like MSN Messenger and stuff, but when they begin to "steal" ideas from Patchou, it really gets on my nerves, they can't think of anything of their own, they have to just go and use an idea that somebody has... Maybe they code it differently and stuff, but it is the same basic thing, and it doesn't change anything, maybe there is a small detail that is different, but so what...

I think Patchou should speak to Microsoft about what they're doing ...

I think he must of been told at raymond. They would of discussed furture features

This new custom names may mean ording names in order which plus! cannot currently do.

you do know there is no such thing about copyright on features? and do you even realize how dumb someone would look to go to microsoft and tell them "hey, you stole my feature!"? it's like saying ms ripped your work by adding a feature to their office suite - it's stupid.

another thing, they can probably think of their ideas on their own, just look at kierant's post. not to mention microsoft's custom names feature is probably way more elaborated than plus'.

i seriously doubt they make a list of features and say "you get that one, we do that one"...
