But hey, nothing is free! Not even MSN! There is always a price to be paied and in this instance when using the free MSN the price is headache due to 120dB mushing your brain. But believe me, users will keep using MSN - its free! Had the same experience in my MSN. But hey, nothing is free! Not even MSN!

But on my machine the banner wont go away... If I accidentally move my mouse over the banner it has a tendency to 'stick' until I actually close the IM client! Very annoying. The trick for me is to place the window so that banner is placed outside the visible area of the screen. By doing so no accidental mouseover events are triggered, and my ears are saved!

Naturally it caused the reaction you described above except that I was'nt wearing my headphones, so my ears were saved :) BTW I noticed the ad just around lunchtime - coincidence or clever targeted advertising? Anyway, It didn't work - no burger for me, but I totally agree with you. Luckily the Firefox plugin AdBlock Plus (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10) has kept me from those annoying rich "move your mouse over the banner"-ads on the web. hehe – I had the same experience: Keeping my MSN window to the left of the screen space and always fully expanded the ad is located only a few px away from my favorite shortcuts in the taskbar.
