I can say that it hasn't even entered beta yet, so it will be quite some time before it's officially released (based on previous experience, I actually have no idea at all).

I'm using Messenger Plus! Live on Windows 7 myself, and I haven't found anything that bothers me. One issue you might want to know about is that, due to the way WLM is no longer in the system tray but in the task bar, you can no longer lock messenger (afaik this can be done by running WLM in compatibility mode for Windows Vista, which will result in WLM appearing in the system tray).

Another issue is the old problem where you can't see the content of chat window with tabs enabled when you use something like alt-tab or Aero Peek. My solution has been to simply disable tabs, as Windows 7 by default keeps the different windows tidily hidden behind one icon.
