MSN shuts down its chatrooms
Check this out. What excuses aren't they willing to find to make some extra money. I was angry to see a few month that the new MSN Explorer 8 had no free version, then to be assailed by emails to urge me to upgrade my hotmail account to get a bigger mailbox, then to have my pictures on MSN Photos deleted because they changed policy and were to keep only paying members' accounts. Finally, I got my hotmail account closed a few days ago for not signing in for a month (because I was in holiday and didn't use this account so much...). I could recover it, but all my previous mails and address book had been deleted.
Now they are making us pay to chat as well, under the pretext of minor protection (if you pay your children are safe, even if you don't have any).
I recommend to all of you who have a hotmail account or use other free MSN services to switch to Yahoo, fastmail.fm (10Mb free !) or other services.
