Comments on: New MSN feature encourages spamming friends

The latest test version of Microsoft's MSN Explorer service is setting off sparks over a feature that converts MSN email accounts to Hotmail and an accompanying spam-like missive.

This is another non-ethical effort by MS to own, control and demand payment for, every bit/byte on the planet that goes From anywhere TO anywhere. MS pushes its software like heroin. Give it to them for free, get them hooked, then give them no option except to pay, and then pay more.

MSN update preview 2

Your article is interesting. However, how do I tell if I have already updated to this version? Your reference to the beta version is preview 2 only.
Also, do you know if MSN is considering changing the clunky favorites to be more user friendly?
