Microsoft hijacking urls in Hotmail?

[Guest l00ll0ll0ll00ll]

I sent this url

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/arti..._the_cheap.html

to a friend via Hotmail and when he clicks on it it redirects him to this

site http://info.mobile.ca.msn.com/en-ca/default.aspx

 

I went back to my hotmail and opened the email in my sent folder and sure

enough Microsoft is hijacking the url when I click on it. If I copy and

paste it into my browser address bar it goes to the correct address.

Are you sure about your "friend" OS settings? :-))
