A few months back, I went to a interview with MS. The team was MS big money making team. They were developing a plug-in (or something like that) that could be added to all types of MS products, that would provide real-time advertisement. A lot like Google does with their online sites. I am sure it is tied to their "Live" products soon to be released on the world (God help us). Anyway. You have seen nothing yet. The best (worst) is yet to come. Imagine. You start MS-Word, and you will have to close an advertisement before you type that letter.

Oh, sorry, have to go. A MS endored ad just popped up on my screen.

>>The typeset reminded me of letters from the IRS - turns out, inside it was an extension offer for Inside MS Access for $97. (however, I've never subscribed to it!)
>>
>>They told me I was under no obligation to pay for issues I've received. That would be great - had I ever received any issues!

>>Do they actually believe that this will nudge someone to pay??? Good lord...
