WLM for f/r/ee - wtf?!
See the thing here.
Now, to start with, I've never understood even why the usage is so limited to certain countries. Honestly. Can someone answer that? Well, maybe this is an explanation: cuz it ain't free. What the...?! Yeah, right. I get all excited, the damn thing is finally already available at this country of nowhere I live in ... go install ... then comes the warning that there'll be fee to pay later on. ~Dear~ Micro$oft, with all due respect (...my butt!), why the fuck do you have to make a service, that's been forever free, all of a sudden not-free?! For me it'd seem they seriously want to drive ppl away from using their stuff, cuz with this, they surely aim at it. Or they just don't get enough money (...my butt again!) from all their other products. Or fuck knows, but please if anyone figures it out, inform me.
Til then, I'm gonna wait for the pay-by-login feature to get implemented into Windows Se7en. <_<

- The Windows Live Messenger allows you to read you hotmail for free, independent of the messaging (which is a paid service).
- There is a mobile site of Windows MSN. It allows messaging and hotmail reading via the phone's webbrowser. Completely free, but with ads.
With webruntime widgets allowed on the newer Nokia phones, ad inclusion in application will occure and 'free' 'applications' will become more widespread. Hotmail and messenger live on ads.
