*sneaks in to give my 2 cents*

I have read the last 2 pages, and thats it. About cookie's anology and such. So I don't have a complete understanding about whats been going on in this thread. Now with that said...

Someone is making a session notifier? Cool stuff. I found that the StuffPlug WON/WCN was fairly accurate, altho did notify me when no window was actually opened. It didn't ruin my experience, or cause me to go all noob on anyone however and demand a 100% working notifier . I knew it just wasn't possible, and I was fine with what I had.

I liked the feature, and the coder did their best on something that was/is next to impossible to have working 100%. I didn't mind one bit. As long as it worked some of the time, I was happy.

I am glad a notifier is being developed. As long as it works even a little bit, its good in my opinion. I can't toss any precentages on this sort of thing because like alot of people have said... its not accurate.

But who cares if its not accurate? Don't use it if you don't want to. Its not bundled and integrated into messenger, so no one would be forcing you . Besides, soooooo many people want it weither its accurate or not. So the way I see it, is make the darn thing, have it at least notify correctly to the best of your ability, and make some people happy. Whats to lose? So it doesn't work 100%, big deal. Windows doesn't ALWAYS work 100% of the time, but it still does what its meant to for the most part.

This shouldn't be compared to real life situations (like cars, and science) because this is just some code to execute some half working function. It makes people happy and content they have their little notifications back, and I am SURE they wouldn't mind a bunch of false notifications if it at least worked a bit .

Thats just my 2 cents on this, and I hope others can see it this way. Its never going to be 100% working unless microsoft decideds to change their program to allow it. So for now we can "guesstimate" on a contact opening a window, and be content. If its a real notification, great! If not, what do you have to lose other than a split second of your life seeing the notification .
