   rijp - Thanks for the quick defense. You're probably mostly right. But what's cool is that making money is often a result of having the happiest cusomters. Because of this, we little people (the ones who build the software) really do focus on the features that make people happiest, such as WLM + Yahoo. While revenue is a primary drivier for the company, it's actually the overall happiness customers, pride in our work, and the advancement of technology are the things we think about during our daily jobs.
   
   (may sound a little preachy - but it's true - most of us got into the software field cause we love good software!)

2. Comment - MS: Want Windows Live Messenger? Pay.

   To those that knock MSN/WL messenger - we who build also use it everyday, super motivation to make it the best one out there. We're workin on it!
   
   The beta is closed partly because we need slower rampup of usage thanks to some work we did on our back end, also - it's really a work-in-progress right now. It's not because we're trying to be exclusive. We'd prefer the world to see it.
   
   As for ebay - we, the developers, are excited it's on ebay because it means people like our work enough to pay for it, but we ourselves are not charging for it, and like i said, we're looking forward to the public release.
   
   And finally, Exquire - back off my typeface! Now you're getting personal. :)
