I don't know a single parent who lets their 8 year old speak on IM clients, let alone a parent that allows them to install software on their computer without the consent, that's just silly.
People should really chill out a bit...
When you install Windows Live Messenger, what do you get, you get an entire area where it says "install the toolbar, install the icons, make msn your default homepage etc" this is all for money, it's doing the exact same thing as what the messenger plus! live bundled sponsor program is doing, so are you now going to go mental at Microsoft for their optional items that you can install?
No I didn't think so.
If Messenger Plus! created it's own toolbar etc. then I don't think it would be as much of an issue, people need to see it for what it is. In the end, Microsoft is worst than Patchou when it comes to advertising, and it always will be.
