Oh good grief!

Get ready for another spate of spoof "chain-letter" emails: "For every person you forward this email to, Bill Gates will personally donate $1 to a charity of your choice."

The sad part is, thousands of people will believe the email and forward it to everyone in their address book.

It appears genuine (the live.com domain is registered to Microsoft), but:

At this time, the i’m™ initiative is available only in the United States. You're still welcome to download Windows Live™ Messenger, or use Windows Live Hotmail®, our free webmail service, however you will not be able to participate in the i’m Initiative yet.
