Paul, you DON'T have to sign up for the newsletter if you don't want to! :-) You can just de-select that option.

I hope MS learned from Apples launch of MobileMe. They will need more bandwidth for the overwhelming demand for this download:) At least with the book version I could wipe my arse with the unread pages!!
