Yes, I'm very happy to have all the adverts. If it keeps my e-mail free and easy to use, and I'm not forced to do anything at all (like click any adverts), why not let them do what they like?
Then again, I'll be getting my own website with my own mail server soon, so then everything I've just said will become entirely obsolete. Like everything in life. Ah well.
or is everyone completely against MS making any money whatsoever?
The Bonded Sender program looks like it will actually be really useful for 90% of Hotmail users, the ones who use it for their normal e-mail address, rather than the ones who just use it for MSN access.
I've used Hotmail for the past 5 years, and have only ever had problems with spam from companies that really have nothing to offer, or cba with writing decent adverts. I think MS, if it has any sense (there goes my argument), will start refusing access to those kind of companies, and the spam that is actually put through will be of a higher quality and maybe even relevant (in a GMail kinda way?)
Then again, I might be completely wrong.
