Microsoft on Monday sent e-mail alerting MSN users to upgrade. Some MSN users reported receiving a dozen or more copies of the same message, which some thought resembled a hoax or prank. The first line is all capital letters: "ATTENTION: IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED FOR MSN AND WINDOWS MESSENGER USERS."

Also, the messages warn users their IM service will be cut unless they upgrade: "NOTICE: If you are not using an updated version, you will be unable to continue using your MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger Service."
