Far out ---- I thought I was the only one who pissed blood about this...
Wow.... lol.... I stopped using hotmail for a whole heap of reasons - such a long time ago, it's getting hard to remember.
I do remember MS increasing the inbox size from 1 Meg to 2 Meg, or was the attachment size - while Yahoo and others climbed up to 20 Meg..
I also remember Microsoft doing the shitty reigonalised media deals with Channel Nine - making it Nine MSN and the double dosing of corporate bullshit there. Channel NINE are one of these shit TV networks that cram every fucking add in, as much as they can, when ever they can, and they even miniaturise the credits at the end of the movie and run adds over the top of that, while they fast forward them.... so they can then stick in more adds between the movie and the next show; and they run the adds at 200% louder than the people talking in the movie.... especially late at night.....
Channel Nine carry on with all this "feed you shit" with no way to contact them type website layouts, and Microsoft are all part of this with their own versions of the same crap....
So that is dickheads doing deals with dickheads - and thinking the consumer is going to wear that on top of a SHIT service from both companies and while using a SHIT email service.
I also remember Microsoft linking the Hotmail email account, into the Microsoft Network.....
I dunno - I think corporate fuck-ups, of the mindset that when you complain about the 10 minutes of robots you have to face when calling customer service, who then justify it by saying that it speeds up the answering of your call, instead of just fucking answering the phone in the first place.....
I have to agree with pretty much all of the adverse feedback towards Microsoft and Hotmail - which much like Internet Explorer which only got Pop Up Add blocking, about 6 or 7 years after every other browser had it.....
As I have absolutely NO interest in Microsoft any more, and I absolutely refuse to have any of my valuable time wasted by these stupid corporate types and all their bullshit - I'd condense the long list down to this:
"Why do I not use hotmail any more - it's because you are dickheads, AND you make a shit product".
