RE: MsgPlus! for Linux
I don't think a version will ever be made for Linux as the developer doesn't have it.


P.S I will be corrected only if what I have said is wrong ;)

The main reason is that there's no MSN messenger for any linux distribution, and I don't think Patchou has enough knowledge to make a plugin for an IM program in linux.

I don't think that's the reason, there are a lot of free distros and can be installed on any PC, unlike Mac OS X.

That looks like a quite good alternative for the color tags, besides it is for another instant messenger client. :)
I'll guess that's the best choice if you want a MSN Messenger lookalike version for Linux. ;)

....... don't take it the wrong way Bamboocha but those who know me well enough could probably tell you why this title will make me smile for the rest of the day :).

So no, sorry, no Linux version of Messenger Plus! will be released, ever (at least not by me). Even if I wanted, it would probably be impossible to do considering that Messenger Plus! is a plugin for the Microsoft client of Messenger and that it's not available as is in Linux.

Linux is an operating system for communists and poor people, not trustworthy and secure like Windows. Do you think patchou is a communist?!

Besides, Gaim kicks ass.

After all, you get more than one protocol in one client, and all the features of the other clients plus more.

EDIT: Shawnz: Communists are not evil enough to make plugins for Microsoft applications.  NOW THAT IS EVIL.  Don't get this software IT IS EVIL I TELL THEE!

Maybe as an experiment one day, you could try implementing a feature or two from msgplus into a Gaim extension?
