  1. Comment - New Microsoft E-Mail Client Gets Ads

    (Jun 5, 2006 - 8:55 PM)

    Gmail, like Windows Live mail/Hotmail is an on-line service and I expect it to have ads. You have to pay for the free service somehow but my computer is my own and ads have absolutely no place in any application, desktop email or otherwise. You pay for the OS! There is no reason that a badly needed upgrade to an obsolete Windows mail client has to have ads. I paid for an internet security suite just to remove adware from my PC.

    I have always used Microsft's OS's and office apps but I have recently switched to Mozilla's Thunderbird email client (no ads and it's free too!) as well as Firefox simply because they came to point where they're a better choice than the Microsoft offerings.

    Tis a pity...
