Hi,
It is legit, but I've yet to hear back from Redmond as to why this is happening or what the
plan is.

This has suddenly appeared this morning with XP Messenger 5.1.0701:
Windows Live(TM) Messenger Service Staff says:
Important service announcement: Because of a recent system update, you must change the
e-mail address that you use to sign in to Windows Live(TM) Messenger. Until you change your
e-mail address, you won't be able to use Windows Live(TM) Messenger.
To change your e-mail address and find out more about this system update, go to
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/Messenger/en
Surely this is:
a) bollocks - I'm not changing my email address
b) weird - that URL isn't even valid
I'd rather not be forced into using Live Messenger, I'm quite happy with the built-in,
adfree, low memory usage, XP one.
A colleague with a 4.x version is not getting signed in, but *isn't* seeing the message,
and another person with a slightly earlier 5.1 version is signed in fine.
Using Windows Live Messenger *does* work though.
