M$ shut off its free services today (messenger, hotmail, etc.), that's why. They're upgrading to pay services. :p

Any reason? Or do we now need to buy a $390 CD with "Enhanced Microsoft Internet Features"?

Has anyone ever actually read some of the stuff on MSN?

It's full of useful articles like:

*Howto get rid of a best friend who is less succesful than you.
*The best way to sack a loyal employee without incurring a court case.
*Do's and Dont's of sleeping with your secretary.
*How much will your Ferrari be worth in 3 years time.

Ok, I made them up - but these ones are sickingly genuine, from todays MSN in fact:

What to do before living together
8 must-know tips for home buyers
How to fight off phone solicitors
10 cars that lose value fastest

Planet Micro$haft must be a very 'happy' place, those topics are so freakin eliteist I could spit.
