Greetings Victor,
Well there's no magical way of converting five years worth of unmanaged C++ code to managed
code. Ignoring the fact that a complete rewrite would be required, a lot of the things used
in Messenger (like DirectUI, RTC, etc.) do not have managed equivalents so it would be rather
pointless to be using managed code.
Never mind that it would make the 10MB download to nearly 30MB (for people without the
framework). Performance also would be questionable.
