Thanks be to A-Patch!

The awesomeness that is A-Patch is now out with a version for Windows Live Messenger 9 (the Wave 3 RC version released last week). It’s actually a cut down list of options this time, in order to get it out quickly. But I’m not complaining. I’m really happy. Here’s why:

As well as the usual option for getting rid of the advertisements, it also enables Multi-MSN.  A-Patch is on the case

There’s been various hacks for this (none of which I could get working I have to admit), but finally there’s a really simple way to make it work.

Head on over to A-Patch and download it now.
