In response to the pro spam ad post by Marketer, the patronising attitude of telling me to click "that little x" is not appreciated. Having to close the pop up is not the problem here, it's the intrusive nature of the advertising. What right does anyone have to force a box with their useless little message onto your screen. Not only is it annoying, but it can potentialy destroy someones work. What if you were in the middle of debugging an application, or creating something in photoshop and suddenly a pop up appears which causes your main application to lose focus and screw up.

MS need to implement a security feature into messenger which allows you to define a list of ip addresses which your machine will accept messages from.

As for firewalls, they can limit functionality of a number of programs which require the use of an internet connection, and need a lot of mucking around to get around this. unless you are a corporate business with sensitive data, then you should not need to set up a firewall, therefore a security feature to messenger is the best option.

So for the reference of any future marketing bod, we do not give a crap what your selling, it's probably shit, so stop bothering us.
