First of all they did not do any effort to prevent it from being stolen!

Second is that it is NO service that runs from their server!

The Message Center does nothing but reflecting the status of your local running program to an internet site!

It would be something different if you would get access to the MSN main server where the online status is stored so that you could display if a user is online in MSN WITHOUT having to start the program! That would be access to their services!

All it does now it showing your own contacts only to you!
