I usually easily recognize SCAM and SPAM. But in this case first I read this MSDN message
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/Profile/thread/b6f8818b-5d70-4451-8fab-eb0a28478610

I then checked my Hotmail and found this message (see attached).

To me this message looks legitimate and it is hard to figure out it was a spam. I did check the agreement contract mentioned in that e-mail - it is very long and very legal looking document.
