MS reaches opposite effect

I think MS'es idea was to let all the people who uses startpagina.nl (means 'startpage.nl') as their home-page, turn over to MSN as their startpage (probably more than a million users?). But the startpagina.nl page has a MUCH larger momentum than MS pages in general in the Netherlands, so it backfired (I live in the Netherlands, and the page is indeed much used), and they reached the opposite effect they planned. This small issue is now worldwide known, and everybody can see what MS is up to. Bad advertisement for them, and shame on them!

Still waiting...

For MS to appologize for the inexplicable way that Hotmail only blocks messages I do want from legitimate companies, but somehow refuses to block spam, no matter how many times I tell it that the same damn email is junk and to not deliver it....

I trust an MS spyware/spam blocker about as far as I could throw Bill Gates entire life savings in gold coins. Seeing as I probably couldn't lift it, even if it was paper, that isn't very far...
