I posted previously on how MSN Messenger 6.1 seemed to have 'lost' its upgrade feature that prompts you when Messenger should be updated. I was wrong. I had downloaded but forgotten to update my laptop with the latest update (the entire setup). After roughly a week or so Messenger prompts me with the same old upgrade prompt I used to get before.
I feel pretty dumb now because most likely this was still in Messenger, just hasn't been needed lately due to the jumps from 5, to 6.0, then 6.1 (even though it should prompt you to upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1 and it didnt seem to for me but it could be because I was always on top of the new Messenger releases). I could gripe and wonder why it took them over a week to release the patch to everyone but maybe there's good reason for that. Luckily the vulnerability wasn't a huge security risk but I'm sure if something huge was found they would have patched it that day.
Anyways sorry Microsoft. Thanks again for another great program I use everyday (and works like I'm used to). Feel free to make me look stupid again in the future.
