Richer Plug-In support

Will there at some point be richer plug-in support for Messenger SDK? Like
the ability to add custom tabs or provide utility messages to the local user
or add icons.

Anything more than just an automatic "AGENT" in the SDK would be really
neat. Even if this is just a Messenger Plus feature!!!

Other third-party messengers do this... GAIM/Trillian but I like Windows
Live and where it's going and as a developer would love to get behind this.

Any other deveopers out there second this?

Greetings John,

I would expect more, but I can't definitively say yes. But let's face it, the current
"official" SDK is pretty useless in practical use.

The Messenger Plus Live scripting interface is extremely powerful though (in comparison).

I haven't played with Plus yet but if there are more developer opportunities
in it, I definitely will be using it!
