Go to the MS Flight website now and click "SIGN-UP" in the menu bar to subscribe to the MS Flight News Letter. According to the signup confirmation page, you will get "Links to articles, insider information, and more!" The sign-up feature was just added today.

I strongly suspect that it just a marketing tool and a way to generate a mailing list.

I goes without saying that anything important will spread throughout the FS comunity like wild fire. So, why "sign up"?
Just because they call it "insider information" does not mean it is "private" as any Flight" info goes viral instantly.

If they want people to sign up to gather input from the FS comunity, I will be first in line.
However, I will pass on this.

Edit....
I just clicked on the sign up link and all it appeared to be was a way sign up for a "MS live ID".
Evidently, the purpose of all this is, they want people to get use to the idea of dealing with MS live.

Flight=MS live=Flight=MS live=Flight=MS live.....
Let's all get used to the mantra.

Posted this same topic over on Avsim. Someone by the name "jahman" said this: (as there were people going on and on about the account thing.)

"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?"

So, are every one of these "1,000,000,000,000,000,000 people" forced to sign a NDA under the threat of finding a bloody horse's head in their bed and none of them will leak any bit of the earth shattering news that they alone are privy to? Shocked

I'm shure we can get at least one of them (perhaps a novice Flight simmer) to "break" if we threaten to take their Joystick and/or yoke away.
