I think it has to do with the crappy hotmail servers. Shame on you, 
Windows Live.

Right.

First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
then they fight you
then you win

And yes, the fact that Microsoft extends the contract, and that 
Microsoft is contributing to the Linux-kernel is the perfect sign, that 
the last part ("then you win") is there.

And yes, we have live with Microsoft, and Microsoft have to live with 
us. I wish this would working without any FUD and wars in future.

thanks
