A DMCA notice for screenshots ... Microsoft sounds like the new China.
They've always sent out DMCA notices when Mess.be leaks something without permission. They've done it more now with the Windows Live suite. I'm sure they're pretty pissed off that the screenshots were leaked.

Yet another smart move by Microsoft, threatening a Messenger enthusiast site with a dcma notice. I know its a leak and all, but its a rather stupid idea to attack a site that openly promotes the use of their software.
Meh i'll never understand corporations.
It's always been like this when sites leak information, it's nothing new. I remember when my own website, MessengerMad, started getting some exclusive information from the developers and we posted screenshots of the upcoming version we received DMCA notices. When a member of the development team sends you a copy of an internal beta, it's not meant to be spread throughout the internet. This is why the majority of the Messenger beta testers are looked down upon. Since v7, I cannot remember a build that was released to testers that was not leaked to the internet.
