We’re interested in working on bringing back MSN Messenger, too. We have a custom server and a Microsoft Server. Not sure we’ll go down this road though.
A clever take on an old friend . Perhaps I missed it, but I don’t recall seeing anyone doing this previously by hosting the COM control in a separate winform app (as opposed to hosting IE instead).
Small side note, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the chat control, it’s funny how some of the aesthetic fits in with the current Windows styles (ie. curved rectangles).
as for this–>We’re interested in working on bringing back MSN Messenger, too. We have a custom server and a Microsoft Server. Not sure we’ll go down this road though.
i can drop an idea if you gonna be occupied with the project :
''connect"" WLM2012 (msnp21) with the Skype (if msnp24 still exists Microsoft Notification Protocol - Wikipedia) in order to use the official ms server again–even the basic use like chatting.
