If it really goes through Microsoft's servers - sure it is puzzling. Would have thought they really had pulled that plug.
More of a question, whether it even goes via Microsoft. Who knows if someone simply has managed to FAKE those services. And if that is the case, it is rather risky to use the stuff. Like someone said, what else does their service do. On the other hand, if Microsoft still have their servers up running on this API, they might have got through there one way or the other. Sometimes it seems Microsoft pulls the plugs for the general market, but keeps things running in the background for certain markets. From what I read, even XP can still be updated, if only you are willing to pay a load of money. Just would have thought, had this been real Microsoft practice for the API, that GW would have been granted further access as well. Too bad we don't have Microsoft representatives to tell us if those servers still are eating electric power - somewhere. Smiles. Agree with you all, don't run things like this. BTW, did you notice that the original messenger did not "remember" where they had got the info from? Hmm, already a red light blinking... Smiles. David On 12/4/2014 1:51 PM, Sam Bushman wrote:

Weren’t we told the api / Microsoft kit was shutdown and that’s why it couldn’t work any more? Isn’t that what we were told? Strange stuff, that’s for sure. Thanks, Sam *From:* Matt Shaw [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Wednesday, December 03, 2014 10:04 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Gw connect workaround While I don’t know who made this workaround, and while I personally don’t condone the use of unauthorized software, I decided to take a chance and run this workaround on my windows seven machine, and I do verify that it does work if you follow the read me instructions. I can’t verify if this works on windows eight, however, as I don’t have a windows eight machine to test. But it does work on windows seven, sixty four bit.
