Windows live homepage looks a little funny...!

What an interesting press release! For those that can't be bothered clicking the image to read it, it says:

"Sorry, you don't have any invitations left for Bill Gates' mother. This is because Windows Live has been taken over by Google. The entire team here wish to thank you for being a beta tester by giving you $10,000.00. Oh, and stop being greedy checking for more invitations. We'll let you know when you have more."

Whoops! See, people can put whatever comment they like in there and then potentially use it as a jump-off URL for phishing attacks, if they so desire. Which they probably do.

Yes, I have notified the Microsoft Security team. I saw it on Digg.com so it's likely been bashed around everywhere by this point. This is a pretty old "trick" to be honest and should be closed up pretty quickly.
