Exactly. I saw the report about this on CNN, and before they even got to the bad part I asked "what's the catch?" Then I heard about them essentially monitoring the email to figure out which advertisers to spam you with...oops, I mean put links out there for you to click, then I knew it was definitely not a good deal. I've finally gotten my hotmail down to 2 spams a day (from 10+ before I could get the damn filtering to work right). Why would I want to go with a company that already announces up front that they are going to use a "nicer" version of spamming?
