…Pretends to fight $pam. At first, I was thinking they had actually done a good thing in limiting Hotmail accounts to 100 messages sent per day. However, in reading the article, "It does not apply to MSN 8 subscribers or those who purchase extra storage on Hotmail"... so, basically anyone who wants to pay $5-10/month can continue to spam to their hearts content through Hotmail/MSN. Good job MS!! Might as well pinch some spammers into paying a few bucks to $pam.
