What are you talking about? I'm using it.

shares a portion though? It's better than nothing i agree, but MS doesnt need money! D: They should donate nearly all of it!

Donating while chating...I think it's some kind of trojan give-and-take...

I have no use of MS since most of my friends doesn't have it - I will stick to my polish "Gadu Gadu" :)

I know =/ I tried to get it here in Canada.. no such luck ;_; I think it's a cool idea... :D

If you select country as "U.S.", you can still use it. They can't really check, I don't think.
