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).

i can drop an idea if you gonna be occupied with the project :
''connect"" WLM2012 (msnp21) with the Skype (if msnp24 still exists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Notification_Protocol) in order to use the official ms server again–even the basic use like chatting.
the screenshot: MSN has detected that you are cconnected from this chat session from the IP address 192.168.2.197, and Couldn’t resolve your hostname; using your IP address instead
