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?

    A purchase is necessary to win.. you need a copy of MS Windows. Wouldn't this constitute an illegal lottery.

    Sure, i'll install the official MSN client, where do I go for the Linux download?
