Remember when Hotmail was innovative and had few adverts, now look at it since MS bought it.

Ciao will no doubt have adverts all over it, the useful parts will be hard to see, and I will be lost when using it because of all the gimmicky crap everywhere.

Google are kicking MS's ass and MS can't understand why. There are no adverts on Google main page, that's one good reason. Google has no clutter, another good reason. Google is fast and fairly good at what it does, and is painless to use, unlike MSN sites.

Did you know that Vista Email doesn't work with Hotmail or IMAP. MS are such a bunch of fools. So what are people to do when they find this out? I have been recommending Thunderbird Email (free, does Hotmail, gmail, yahoomail and IMAP).

I wonder are MS doing the right thing or slowly killing themselves.

Computer with Vista - $ Lots
Computer with Linux - $404
