<html> This sounds like typical Micro$quish techno-babble; 'If only you LUSERS wouldn't use our brilliant software, things would work just FINE. Maybe if you send us a shit load of money we'll tell you how to fix things, until the next patch comes along and starts trashing your systems ability to work, BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!". Unless you're a corporate client (and no corporation relies on Hotmail, outside of the porn business that is), they don't want to know you. I know whereof I speak, I have a system that is stuck with the 'random crash-n-burn' virus, aka, Windows ME. And apparently I've used up my quota of two free support calls, not that they can tell me when I did, they just know I have, so from here on in, pay through the nose bubba! Bastards.
