Windows Messenger is a great way to keep up with people. But before you start flinging messages around the world, you'll have to sign up for a Microsoft .NET Passport. The easiest way is to sign up for a free Hotmail account. Fill out the short questionnaire, and Microsoft assigns you a Hotmail e-mail address. Log in to Windows Messenger using that address, and you're set.
And here's a tip that you don't see every day: It's completely ethical to lie when filling out Microsoft's .NET Passport questionnaire. Your personal information is none of Microsoft's business. Let Microsoft fill its databases with information from credit card companies, like everybody else does.
