Messenger Plus! Live ... leaked!

Oh noes, it is like a flashback again as MSN Messenger's most respected add-on has been leaked. So what info can I tell you, well the bear minimum, although I know rather a lot I am using other sources to compare what is in this post. First, the build version, 4.0.0.214 was leaked last night, this is in fact one of the betas, but nowhere near the latest. The file size is 9MB in size and there are no issues installing and using.

However, if you do come across this beta, you may find yourself trapped in one of the many viruses out there, but if you are lucky enough for that not to happen to you, there is something you should be aware of. First, as it is a beta is maybe laced with many bugs, which can damage your computer. This is a warning, but then again I doubt that will stop you.

However, what will stop you is this. Patchou, will find the leaker and they will be struck from testing. In addition, the new leaking method means Patchou can turn the beta on/off by the flick of a button, you may find with the beta you cannot sign into Windows Live Messenger. So using the Messenger Plus! Live maybe impossible.

I cannot reveal anything, I have been trusted not to do so, so no features will be revealed unless they are made publicly on another website, I currently have one screenshot from betaxp.net, which is all you can get out of this at the moment. Sorry if the post sounded downhearted but it has ruined testing for us all. Messenger Plus! Live maybe delayed because of this situation. Have a nice day everyone!

What a pitty. I hope the Tester who leaked it, will get a kick in his a*s!

(Are you sure, that this isn't such a trap like the thing with the leaked screenshot?)

Well IMO nothing can be 100% leak proof. Yes Patchou had taken alot of messures for MP!L not to be leaked but it all comes down to trust bettween him and the testers. Say a tester gets a key logger and a person finds the password to the beta site, I wouldent think that would be so much the testers fault.

That's just terrible! :'(

Good Patchou added that protection in it, it's a proof that it works and can be trusted in further builds. I only hope the MP!L progress won't be (too much) delayed...
