deanne as much as i would like to answer you direct i cannot say what microsoft and other parties have discussed...
And it is not my area to be honest i rather stick to my design work!
Yahoo, the above is a prime example of the typical wishy washy "THE CHAT THAT WE DARE NOT SPEAK IT'S NAME" attitude, which seems to make "THE CHAT THAT WE DARE NOT SPEAK IT'S NAME" staff look wise and intelligent in their own eyes, and silly in most everyone elses eyes.
Again, I encourage you to personally contact msn/microsoft to find out what their official position is on this--before you take up the standard bs...er "THE CHAT THAT WE DARE NOT SPEAK IT'S NAME" company line.
I agree x--the thing that really hits my funny bone is that 2 years ago that alot of religion category people were outraged at the clones, and mocking them---now those same people are paying them.
I know it sucks to admit to being conned, tricked, or swindeled out of a $50 donnation, but I think facing that reality would be better than living in the fantasy world that msn endorses "THE CHAT THAT WE DARE NOT SPEAK IT'S NAME", supports "THE CHAT THAT WE DARE NOT SPEAK IT'S NAME", or doesn't care what "THE CHAT THAT WE DARE NOT SPEAK IT'S NAME" does with msns copyrighted software. 
ps, I love the new name for b u z z e n --> "THE CHAT THAT WE DARE NOT SPEAK IT'S NAME" lol! and lol @ Smurffen too.
you all are funny.
