Boring? You guys are crazy... This isn't Microsoft giving money away for free. Rather they are getting cuts of the commissions and are using this as a market entry strategy to expand into a new revenue source (common market entry strategy).

When MS wants something bad enough they have the money to follow through. I wouldn't count them out...lots of typical MS users will likely switch into this program creating a decent sized market. Think it's a solid strategy for Microsoft to expand their services. Have a look at their new C-dragon technology... MS is actually coming out with some cool stuff lately
