The ads help keep the outlook.com service free. You can remove the ads - by paying for Ad-free Outlook.com. It costs about $20 per year. Have a look here:

    You said, "If you're using free Windows Live account, it is by default that there’s an advertisement on the right hand side of your Windows Live Hotmail page and to remove it permanently, you'll have to upgrade your account to either Hotmail Plus or MSN Premium account",

    And you quoted "how do you think they pay for the service when it is free"

    If you buy a copy of windows this should cover all the cost involved, its not exactly expensive to produce an email service. Therefore it is comparable because if you paid for your windows it should be free. If you didn't...then yes you should pay a small amount!

    Licensing Windows and using a free email service are not comparable. You're the one who asked whether I paid for Windows or not in the context of paying for email (by seeing ads).
