Are you telling us Microsoft gets money for just displaying the ads on a users computer? Don't you have to click before they make money?

I'm sure it is possible that Microsoft gets payment just for having the advertisements displayed. Maybe this is the case and the get more payment per click?

This is just a guess

There's a Difference between MSN Messenger and just MSN. MSN is a service (Internet, Browser, etc) from MSN which, yes, is pay for (since version 8 actually). (Corrrect me if im wrong)

...But MSN (internet, etc.) is already at version 9, so maybe it is just a rumor you are talking about. Please state if it is Messenger or the internet service when talking about it.

if msn was really leaving us hotmail staff and msn staff could send a mass email, instead of sending it to other ppl and getting then to pass it on!

Yes, agreed with you. I never did understand why Microsoft wold ask you to send an email to alll your contacts to inform them about Messenger becoming paid, or that your Hotmail account maybe closed. Surely Microsoft could send the emails themselves.

*Oops, YAY_MUM & I just gave the spammers an idea

That idea, already exists ..
