# Ermm... Shinny Translucent Cock Shaped Object.


Out of interest with this chat-room thinggy that Microsoft are 'stopping', is it true that they are keeping there 'paid' chatrooms - and the rest is cleaver marketing?

or am I the only one to realise this?

# *ahem*
"Microsoft" is the American term for "Marketing engine". Didn't you know ?

It costs a lot of money to run free chatrooms. My reaction is that they pulled the plug for financial reasons and gave a bit of clever spin to the press.

Apparently all the other chat-rooms are going to follow what they belive MS are doing. Therefore giving MS a monopolly in chat rooms.

By-gosh, I have to tell the UN !!!!

I think it would go into a paid version of some kind or another.

After-all, don't BT Openworld now own Yahoo?
