All the Messenger Servers are run and paid for by Microsoft. That's right. They bought the hardware, pay the people to maintain them, pay the bandwidth fees and so on.
They can do with their servers whatever they want to do: Turn them off, charge everybody for using them or paint them pink. Don't like pink servers? Switch to another service...
Mailservers on the other hand are a) run by everybody on the net and b) at lots of places you have to pay to use them! *gasp*
I mean come on, gimme me a break, I think there are some things wrong with Microsoft, but that's for sure not one of these things...
Has anybody experience with (moderated) chats as a tool to communicate on special occasions between bosses and employees?
For example to communicate important changes and news concerning the business. Using chats it would be easy to get a fast feedback on how changes are accepted throughout the company.

Well, the USA seek that approval as long as they think tey might get ist. As soon as it's clear that this approval will not be granted, they act like Bin Laden -> without seeking permission from the UN. BTW: Saddam Hussein never tried to kill any US Citizen without beeing attacked from the US before. So your argument can only be used for Bin Laden. And do you really want to compare the USA with Bin Laden. I wouldn't (and I'm a critic when it comes to the foreign politics and policies of the USA) Don't forget: Saddam was good friend of the USA during the 80's an before...

And that 13$ fee is discussed for eons (sp?)
so nothing to see here, please move along...
This is the single biggest annoyance imho. Why can't they just do it the Mac way? Put everything for one programm in a single directory and that's it. No more problems with installing, just copy the directory from CD to HD or from HD to HD and you're good to go.
Add a small script to register file associations and maybe to add alink to the Startmenue and voila: Instant profit:-)
Seriously, what's the problem with that? Save disk space by reusing components? Please, with 1$==1GB for Desktopsystems that shouldn't be a problem...

The most important tool to use GPL'ed software is not free, it's loaded with patents, it's closed source, etc. It's called a computer.
You need one of these to create GPL'ed software...The tools are not really important to decide if some code is GPL'ed or not.
First of all: it's called ANWAR...

But the the real thing, at least in my opinion, are long distance races. The Volvo Ocean Race, Cape Town - Rio, Jules Verne Trophy and so on.
The greatest thing about the AC is not the real sailing but the High Tech Stuff that drips down to other races and classes.
