Hello Green people
Below is a piece of the use of terms agreement for Microsoft's Passport
Website seen Midnight April 1
. As I understand this Hotmail is a part of this. For those of you who use
e-mail and Microsoft services this should be taken as a warning for your
property rights.
"Grant them permission..."This is insane !
Hotmail MSN mail will be added to my flag file then kill file soon.
