Hey guys, I was experimenting with MSN plus and the new build of WLM today and I found out that MSN plus (version 3.61.145 and lower) is compatible with WLM but there are certain requirements.

1. MSN Plus version 3.61 and lower will work with the 0562 build of WLM

2. Unfortunately you have to be a beta tester to download the new 0562 build

But after you install it, there are certain features that do not work on MSN plus. This includes:

Tabbed Contacts

Desktop Contacts

Custom Sounds

Version check

Pinging

Any text commands

Name color codes

Extension of Maximum word limit

Stuffplug

I will add more to this list

The rest of the features such as boss protection and msn lock are still working.

Unfortunately though, I guess this means the WLM dev. team have stopped working on a new engine, and are just re-using the old MSN Messenger engine.

well basically all that works is transperancy, boss protection and messenger lock and a few more options..

so basically all plus options to do with the main window and the whole application in general work probably, but any options in the conversation windows don't work at all..

[they probably updated the convo windows engine but used the old main window im guessing]

but yeh, i guess if you use stuffplug [and any other plugins] then any options made for the main window should work, but probably not for the convo windows..

I'm surprised to hear it partially work, if I were you I would use caution (and uninstall it if Messenger starts acting funny). For those of you who wonder about old/new engine, the oposite happened. This new build of Messenger uses many new techniques/files which actually completely broke my current alpha version of Plus! 4.

So rest assured that Messenger is evolving, and quite a lot (the new beta requires at least XP SP1 though).

Note: version 3.62 was modified to not even try to load in Messenger 8 to avoid problems.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By Nas · Posted

      The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
