LOL - I totally agree and am moving off of hotmail to another provider called myrealbox.com that another member turned me on to here....forgot who it was or I would give em props - 10mb, no spam and pop/imap access
All hotmail does now is flood me with spam
Btw- You'd be surprised at how many fall victim to M$ tactics and sign up for the bigger limit mailboxes - 3 in my office alone and that's a VERY small slice of the general population paying for something that they can get for free
