A Better Title

Remember the post about Messenger Plus!’s petition against the inclusion of Messenger Plus! in MS Anti-Spyware?

Here’s a follow-up from Patchou, the creator of Messenger Plus!.

The MSAS petition has been sent

Hello every body,

In only 4 weeks, you’ve been more than 400,000 to sign the MSAS petition. This number is simply incredible, especially if you consider that when the petition was closed, tens of thousands of new signatures were still being added every day. In any case, we think that 401,683 signature (final number obtained after excluding invalid/duplicate entries) should be enough to attain our objectives and if it doesn’t, more signatures would probably not have been of much help.

The complete listing of signatures, which includes your contact information and comments, has been printed and sent to Microsoft today. The document was formatted with Times New Roman 9pt with borders size at minimum but still achieved to be 10,137 pages long! That’s about 110 pounds (50Kg) of written support so thanks again for your help everyone :-). Of course, as the petition was sent under all of your names, the results will be made public when and if Microsoft sends us a reply. I sincerely don’t want this issue to go any further and I’m counting on Microsoft to realize that it’s in the best interest of everyone to solve that detection/removal problem. Keep checking this page (or use the RSS feed) to know what happens next!

Apparently some of the forum users in some countries call in the media to cover the event… Does anybody want to call up Channel News Asia?

Messenger Plus! user,
