I am abandoning my hotmail account because of this subscription crap. They try to push it on you everywhere.
The first outrage was when they changed the first page hotmail presents you with from your inbox to a "homepage". Well that's just freakin' great! Now, when I type in 'www.hotmail.com', i'm brought to an advertising page (uh, I mean homepage). Then, i have to click on 'inbox' (in very small letters), and only <i>then</i> am I brought to my inbox.
The final straw was the 'storage-o-meter' that they put on the homepage. A little fucking bar graph depicting how much space (of your allotted 2MB) you've used up. This bar-graph produced in me "space-paranoia", wherein I found I was simply not happy unless the meter was in the green.
Of course, right below the meter was a nice little "Get more space" button.
And, oh yes, they don't let you forward your e-mail to another account, either. Hell, you might stop coming to the "homepage" then!
