Sorry, I didnt look into that link before giving it to you.  The old version of Hotmail is no longer available.  "Windows Live Hotmail Classic" is the closest you're going to get and its not much different than the regular "Windows Live Hotmail".  Unfortunatly, there is no way to get around this....

Might I suggest switching to Gmail by Google??  It is a wonderful email service with almost no advertisements (there are text links on the right side of email messages! thats it!) and excellent spam control, plus all your emails are grouped into conversations.  I'd check it out as an alternative :).

If you want to use Messenger with your GMail account, you've got to register a "Windows Live ID" with your email.
You can register at http://www.passport.net/, by clicking "Use existing email".

If you're using Firefox, this ad-removal should work for you. :)

I don't really support ad-removals, since they got to earn money, you should be grateful it's 2.8 GB free storage anyway.
