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.
It's not quite the same, when you let Windows Live Messenger install its toolbar, icons and set your homepage it isn't downloading malware to your computer. If Windows Live Messenger were installing malware we would all be against it as well.
I think Microsoft's final decision to remove Patchou from the MVP program had to do more with the fact that he is a company officer for C2Media and not just because he bundles Lop with Messenger Plus.
Him being a part of a company that produces malware and being an MVP would not look good for Microsoft.
An oversight like this for MS is terrible and it should have never happened, but it did and removing Patchou from the MVP program was MS's only recourse.
