Outlook access to Hotmail/Windows Live mail/MSN Mail
Windows Live Mail is a product that is now funded by advertising - a reach
play - so why is it that I have to have a subscription to access the email through the Outlook client that I BOUGHT FROM MICROSOFT? I know you want to give people a reason to buy office live but this is sad - the revenue stream can't compensate surely for the lack of product uptake and therefore eyeballs on the adds with corresponding click-throughs or the loss of "goodwill". I ended up opting for gmail purely becuase I get a free POP account....The only saving grace is Windows live desktop mail but that means I have to use two email clients...This is just sad...Surely the idea should be to get WL Desktop for those who DO NOT have Outlook.... ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
