I've got myself into this Windows Live Mail for a while now, and I just find it funny that while inside Windows Live Mail, I get ads geared towards Hotmail users to go switch to Windows Live Mail.   Anyway of getting the Windows Live Mail team to make it so these type of "Geared to Hotmail Users Ads" be shut off or be replaced by something I actually fancy?

In cases like these, AdBlock is your friend

I'm not too worried about ads.  If it really bothers me, or I don't trust the site, I just add the site to the restricted sites list.  Usually does the job nicely for those sites that like to link to ads off site.  It doesn't really block onsite ads.  Don't know if i'm getting that right though, but thats what it seems to do when its in the restricted list.  I'd rather have ads "geared" to what I like than have stuff screen-spammed to me. hehe. 

I know there was a video posted once that one of the MS teams (maybe the MSN Messeger/Live Messenger, not sure) had it where they would passively monitor sites and stuff and then gear ads towards what the user was  interested in.  That sounds alright I guess.
