While not the best strategy in my opinion, Messenger and Spaces are free, and MS is just trying to make a little money to keep those services running.

That's going too far, IMO... we shouldn't have to look at crappy advertisements in the most-used window of the program... :dodgy:

Why do you think they're there?
Anyway, they've been there since an early beta.
And there are already patches to hide it all. Just look around.

i dont want their to be ads. Those are annoying. They should find other way to make money. Bill gates has enough to share.

True.

But for them, that's the most strategic place to place their ads :p
