Superb! Great initiative from Microsoft and the Flight-team!

Great news! I wonder however how many negative responses this will trigger :(

good start .... photo-realistic scenery of the globe, my house modeled in the sim, interactive flight crew lobby in the airport,  the smell of jet fuel while using Flight, a coupon for free chicken at KFC, etc.

When I click on the Sign Up button, I am prompted to sign in with a Windows Live ID or to create one...What kind of newsletter is it that I would need to create a Windows Live ID?I think that warrants far more negative comments than the rather tame Flight we've seen so far...

Live ID and email is integrated at MS.  Makes sense that MS would want you to have a hot mail account to receive its newsletter. Windows Live is not scary, dangerous, or sinister.. and all on this forum have signed up for an email address in the past .. nothing different about that here either.

Why does that make sense? What do you need to send out a newsletter? A delivery email address... Why does that have to be a MS owned email address?I'm very curious how you can answer that question logically without confirming at least some of what you're apparently opposed to.

I'd like to second the motion of a coupon for free chicken in particular. mmmm... free... chicken.Al

Microsoft does things that way. I don't even get to see their videos until someone posts them as Flash videos.Microsoft says I need Silverlight and I decided to put a stop to their insistence at bloating my computer with their version of what someone else has done successfully before!Regards, Mike Mann

But I don't want a hotmail account. I'm more than satisfied with my present mail service (Outlook) from my ISP.

Irrelevant much...:(

Thanks HughesMDflyer4 for the heads up on this newsletter. Everyone else who is making a fuss regarding Windows Live need to check themselves before they wreck themselves! hahaSeriously though, MS is not forcing anyone to do anything for this newsletter. I have had a Windows Live account with my yahoo email for many years now. Unless they have changed their policy, you should be able to sign up for Window Live with ANY email addy.

To all of you posting that you need a Hotmail account to sign-up for the MS Flight Newsletter, where exactly do you get this info from? I mean, have you even *tried* signing-up for a LiveID with a non-Hotmail email?"LiveID" is a moniker for "UserID" and every forum you have registered with so you can post and receive notifications by email requires you to provide a UserID (usually your regular email) and a password.So for the MS Flight newsletter, Microsoft asks you to do exactly the same: Use your regular email and choose a password to register and get your newsletter. What's the bid deal?Cheers,- jahman.PS: Just signed-up for the Flight Newsletter with my regular day-to-day email address I have had for so loooooooooooong.

read my response in another email .. after posting . sry
