My current boss wanted to know if the LiveScratcher Script-to-DUI interface would work with Windows Live Messenger 8 too. I’d kept in mind that I wanted it compatible with WLM8, but hadn’t tested it yet. To my suprise, there were only two tiny (non-fatal) errors, and I could get the advertising removal script working with just one extra line.
Behold, the Windows Live Messenger 8 *and* 9 compatible advertisement patch:

The whole thing started off as an extension to a DUI compatibility layer I wrote for Iminent, but with every hour I stick in I’m falling in love with it more 
It sounds good :D…I’m waiting anxiously
