Question from Australia:

When i upgraded hotmail to outlook.com, one of the most stunning feature is after logging out outlook.com, it just stay with outlook.com log out page. However a few days ago, i noticed after logging out outlook.com, the browser was automatically redirected to ninemsn.com.au like what hotmail used to do. This website re-direction is really annoying and I would appreciate any help to show me how this can be stopped. 

cheers

    Hi, Woodg,

    I appreciate your take on the Outlook.com service ethic:  put up with annoying features or just go away.

    But the difference with Yahoo in my own experience is that they've always redirected to a Yahoo page full of inappropriate and offensive trivia.

    Outlook.com on the other hand had the generic log-out users apparently want ... but then got rid of it.

    I feel certain that revenue IS generated for Microsoft when you go to the MSN page. As I said, live with it. Or go somewhere else. But do remember that both Google and Yahoo generate revenue from their email services, too.

    Hi, Woodg,

    Thanks for the response.

    Outlook.com is the free service you log into.  Not the MSN gossip and trivia page which is often offensive and inappropriate.

    But do you think there's a chance no revenue at all is generated when Outlook.com forces me to go to the MSN page?

    There are indeed other email services.

    So it doesn't force Outlook.com users to generate click-through page revenue when they're taken against their will to the MSN site?

    I don't know the answer for that. But if it did, so what? It's a free service. Live with it. Or not. It's your choice.

    Personally, I rarely log out. So whilst it does annoy me, it only annoys me on the odd times I log out.

    Many thanks for that reassurance.
