Microsoft is reportedly planning to start charging surfers for the improved services of its MSN internet portal.

Lol I got that in an email and thought it was spam :hehe:

From what I understand, it's only an "idea" at the minute. To be honest, I'm not sure they'll do it - I mean, think of the sheer massive volume of customers they're going to lose and the damage to their reputation.

They might do it, but I don't know, just seems like too much of a risky thing to do to me.

:lol: I knew that email was spam. It was one of those "If you send this to X amount of people, then MSN won't charge user fees"

*throws tomatoes at Morphmaster*

Its surprising how many people actually believe this, and then have a fit on how their precious MSN is going to be charged. Eh Tom?
