It's MS that loses out by not having those with valid email addys attending these chats. Same with those who want to have their systems scanned for malware at LiveOneCare or whatever it's name is today. The malware detected is skewed because *some*, or a great deal of folks, do NOT desire a 'Windows LiveID'.

It's a fine thing, if that's what you like. However, a Live ID should not be required to participate in a chat, and a moderated chat doesn't need a Live ID to prevent abuse. This is just another way for some people at Microsoft to coerce users to get a Live ID. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > There are some benefits in a Live Id, aren't there? > Anonymous chats are so tempting for abusers... Perhaps for MS, there are benefits. It's not as if one couldn't create a phony identity using Live ID, right ? Why isn't a valid email address sufficient ? MowGreen [MVP 2003-2007] =============== *-343-* FDNY Never Forgotten =============== > There are some benefits in a Live Id, aren't there? > Anonymous chats are so tempting for abusers... maybe by giving a real email address ms at least knows you are legit. Microsoft is the only one that sees it and all you really need to do is make a passport account so what is the big deal anyway? also this announcement needs to be put in all ms newsgroups. I had no idea this was happening until i just popped in here I am normally in the windows defender ms newsgroup and I am betting the folks in there might like to attend one of these chats too. robin > Perhaps for MS, there are benefits.

Guess there are other ways to prevent bot abuse (for which Microsoft is a tempting target). But lately bots become well compatible with CAPTCHA.
