Now i'm not going to go agains microsoft, but this service needs to stay free. First off, microsoft is pulling money out of thier asses, they don't need to make any more. I'm quite sure they can spare a few million dollars out of the billions they make per year, for a free service.

I own lots of mirosoft items, lots of them. I think that buying those items from them, you are already paying for you service. Look at how much operating systems cost? A few hundred dollars for the latest Microsoft operating system. They are making about 75% profit from that one piece of software. Now that price that we are paying for this microooft operating system, should pay for most of our micrsoft services. We purchace thier sofware, they could at least give us a little back, such as a free service.

Now I know the messenger service is a big part of microosft, it has it's whole own datacenter building, useing thousands and thousands of GB to store everyones contacts. And i know they go through a few tarabytes a year in bandwidth from MSN messenger alone, and costs them millions. But look at thier products. Price otu a few of microsofts most common products. For Office XP and Windows XP you are paying about $500. That should, as i have said, pay for your subscription.

I had recently ppurchased an XBOX system, cost me $300 for the system alone. No joke, that included one game. I bought an extra controller, and another game, bringing my totaly to about $400. Now i was thinking, paying so much money for this simple gaming system, you could ghook it up to the interet and play people online for free. But alas, Microsoft was asking $30 for the  live kit, and the another $6/month for the subscription. I had just paid a lot of money for one of their products, and their not even goign to show the curtosey and give me one service free?

If you agree with me totally, give me a pm!

No offence Billy boy, but your a billionare, you can spare 50 million a year for a free service can't you? Your making billions a year, is that not enough for you?

This is out of nowhere, but what also pisses me off, is how they are making so much money, and people pirate the software and it gooes around to a few thouisand people, yet they still persue and press charges, making even more money. They could sell otu anything, i don't know why they waste thier time on something as stupid as that.

What else, thier a professional busin ess making billions as i've said, and they have ads all over thier site. For themselves i'm nto concerned about, but for other people? Chearged e-mail address i comepltely understang, but it does make me think that they should give them a more professional sounding domain, insteafd of @hotmail.com or @msn.com.
