What do you think?

I don't understand how anyone can stand option 2...?

This is the difference when images are remove, or not removed, from the hotmail website.

i think option 2 looks better. Whats so bad about it?

Probably has something to do with the fact there are ads in the second image...

just those littel things at the side who cares.

This may "interfere" with their policy, but what you do is get firefox, and the adblock plugin, and adblock the hell out of them.

you can choose not to display images in IE.
