I have kept my aol email account for more than 10 years. Works fine easy to type and superior spam filtering. My hotmail and yahoo addresses all died under thousands of spam emails. A better topic would be does looking at Slashdot suggest you are a maladjusted basement dweller?

Windows haters of the world unite. Actually Microsoft has been consolidating and planning entry into ALL computing. After years and years of having google as my homepage due to its simplicity and function I now have two. Google and MSN.com. With a Windows live account I can have my stuff anywhere I can get to the internet including office, searches, email and cloud storage. PCs are still far ahead of any other platform in usability. Bing works fine just like Google. Easy to use as an alternative. Where ever everyone else is going I believe that MS is already there.
