Instant Messaging Giveaway

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a/s/l dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft is planning on giving away $1000/hr randomly to users of the new MSN messenger. They are going to send instant messages to the winners. I can just see it now, 'You've won $1000 in the MSN Messenger giveaway, just go this website and enter your SS# and credit card info for verification.'" Where's Ed McMahon with the big check when you need him?

    Does that mean all the e-mail I got about Bill Gates donating a dollar for every time I resent the message were true, too?!

  2. And agree to a new Microsoft EULA by Homology · · Score: 1, Redundant
    To qualify, people must fill out contest entries and upgrade to MSN Messenger 6.0

    And of course, agree to a new draconian EULA.

    I've not installed MS latest service pack quite simply because of it's EULA (copied from Media Player 9.0 EULA).
