it will be interesting to see how far the msnp8/9 protocol reverse engineering effort(s) will get, since it sounds like ms is going to put a lot of effort into blocking non-
licensee third party clients ("Besides the issue of not wanting to run an IM network for other client makers to exploit, the changes to the MSN IM network also are for
security and privacy reasons, Microsoft said. 'If there is unauthorized access to our network, it opens us up to potential security and privacy vulnerabilities'").
