You're looking at it from the wrong prospective. Because Google isn't the one in charge of this project, the XMPP Consortium is. Google is just implementing the XMPP standard and isn't putting anything live that doesn't meet the currently adopted spec at this point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP If Google were trying to be like Microsoft, they'd go sidewinder and pull exactly what you're suggesting. That would be a bad thing. -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "google-talk-open" group.
